Using jquery tabs with my layout my tabs have a huge gap before they start

I currently have a 2 column site layout, with a footer/header, a fixed width left column which contains a menu, and a right hand column which takes the rest of the available space. My lefthand column contains a fold out menu, and it seems that when I have tabs in the right hand column, the text within the selected tab only begins after the end of my lefhand menu ends.

I've tried using a clear:both; before tabs begin which causes the entire tabs to shift downward, and begin after the lefhand menu ends.

Here is the code I'm currently using:
