As I see css/quicktabs.css and tabstyles/garland/garland.css are not loaded. can you please confirm? in the page source you should have something like this inside the <head> section.

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/sites/all/modules/quicktabs/css/quicktabs.css?h" />
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/sites/all/modules/quicktabs/tabstyles/garland/garland.css?h" />

Please check that for IE and firefox also. But I have no idea why it is not loaded in IE.

possible problem: you are using too many css files #228818: IE: Stylesheets ignored after 30 link/style tags

try css aggregation: on admin/settings/performance page enable the "Optimize CSS files" option

When I use "Optimize CSS files" the tabs break and stop working properly. Instead I get a list of all < li > one below another. Any ideas of what can be causing this problem?

Thank you,

optimizing css files worked for me

Sorry for the late response. It was happening in FF3, IE7 and Opera 9.63. The homepage was the only one that had this problem.

The only way for the mod to work well was to unable block cache and all other performance options.

Update: I was reading http://drupal.org/node/344782 and disabled the block cache. That took care of the issue. I also updated the plugin to the latest dev version.

Thanks,

The block cache issue is here: #342459: Block cache problem (Not showing for anonymous or authenticated users)
The main issue here is with css optimisation in IE, not a quicktabs bug.

Hi all,

apparently the module http://drupal.org/project/unlimited_css solves this problem. Thanks to decibel.places for pointing it out in the module's issue queue #436882: IE Unlimited CSS Loader name change? module affects other browsers, fixes other issues.

Thank you for this thread.

I had no idea about the CSS limit in IE.
