jquery tabs and simple manipulation

I’m trying to implement the jquery example “simple manipulation” into my wordpress plugin. Right now I’m just trying to get it to work before I start rearranging and adding functionality to the original example. For this forum question I have truncated alot of code to only whats needed and I’m sorry but, I cant give a webpage right now since I’m developing this on localhost.

citools.php (the plugin)
build_base_tables_script.js (js script containing the simple manipulation)
citools-index.php (page html)

So, the issues that I’m have are 1) when I click on the remove icon (the x in the tab) the tab is removed but not the content within <div id=”tabs-1″> and 2) when I add a new tab by clicking the button and submitting, the new tab appears but I can not select it and its content is appended to the bottom of the first tab, which is always visible. I hope this makes sense and if it doesnt I can try to post some pictures.
