Uh... With all due respect, AntiNinja, Javascript hacks are not usually the way to solve CSS problems. Your solution also won't help Opera or Safari users. Why not just fix the CSS, instead of applying an arcane hack?

In this case, the problem revolves around all those "float: left;"s. Remove them, and the "display: block;" on "#tabsF a span", add a bit more padding to the enclosing div, and there's your solution.
