Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.sorry to bother again, but for some reason i just cant get QT to properly. i read many issues but havent found a recipe to work along. can anyone help me?
When i make a NON-AJAX QT the content of the tabs doesn't get loaded into the different tabs but into the first one. (sometimes in the first and second one but not in the following ones)
When i change it to an AJAX QT the content gets loaded into the different tabs but i can't use any special views (like "accordion") which use extra css or javascript.
Additionally sometimes QT does not seem to realize how big the content div is... so content flows over the QT bottom-border (the QT is small though it should be higher). But sometimes it does realize it (i was not able to figure out when it works and when not)
is this just a CSS problem? and what can i do about it?
I am sorry for this "multi-problem-issue" but i just cant find my way through
thanks!

pasquallenon-ajax QT problem:
are you using the latest release (rc3)? #363145: Missing tabpages in non-ajax mode
do you have block cache disabled or is status column -1 in the {blocks} table? #342459: Block cache problem (Not showing for anonymous or authenticated users)
there should be no problem with displaying the tab content in non-ajax mode. If the above does not help, then please provide further information about your settings (you can attach screenshots), and try with other options, like with garland theme, simple nodes as tab type, or try to disable some modules (like devel)..
ajax QT problem:
yes, that does not work (yet)
content flows over the QT bottom-border problem:
are you using floated elements inside QT (CSS
float:right)? if yes, then it is a general CSS issue. Try to set height for the quicktab or try to add another element after the floated element withclear:left (or right).Comment #2
drupalok commentedthanks Pasqualle! the CSS hint worked perfect for me!
a bit weird still to have to add an extra element. is this a general problem or just quicktabs specific?
keep up the great work! :)
PS: someone mentioned quicktabs is not good for main content. can you tell me what to use to have similar functions in main content without quicktabs?

pasqualleit is a general CSS thing. when the container height is calculated from the elements it contain, but floated element height is not used..
tab like functionality for the main content should be implemented with a menu..
