jQuery Tabs how to have all other tabs retract on page load

Hi I followed a tutorial at <snipped URL>. The tutorial works fine however once I have implemented it onto my own website when the page loads all three tabs with their content in the div are displayed once the page has completly loaded the other tabs dissappear how do I make it so that on default the other unselected tabs do not appear and are contradted?
