Summon search

[Cabus, Michael]

Howdy y'all,
  In the process of implementing Summon on our site...I used their tool to embed a search box, and we are using jquery-ui tabs to let users select a type of search (articles, books, everything)..problem is, I can only the search box to generate for one tab at a time.

I tried to add a jsfiddle and just send that link on, but, the Summon embed code and jsfiddle are not great friends...so, here is essentially the setup:

<li><a href="#tabs-1">Summon</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs-2">Articles</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs-3">Books/Videos</a></li>
<li><a href="#tabs-4">Images</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="tabs-1">
<div class="searchbox">
<h1 class="contentblock"><span>Search Almost Everything</span></h1>
<script id="s75c77a10feec013115bf425f16031628" src="http://philau.summon.serialssolutions.com/widgets/box.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
new SummonCustomSearchBox({"id":"#s75c77a10feec013115bf425f16031628","params":{},"colors":{"links":"#922c46"},"searchbutton_text":"Search","advanced_text":"Advanced Search","placeholder_text":"enter search terms","boxwidth_text":"727","advanced":"true","suggest":"true","tagline":"true","popup":"true"})
// ]]></script></div>
</div>

....

With additional tabs setup the same way.

The search box appears for the first tab, but does not seem to search properly...it appears for none of the other tabs.  I tested the code out locally, placing each in a separate file (one for everything, another for books, etc) and each one worked...I am wondering if


a.)    In  a tabbed environment the Summon code needs to be modified to accommodate multiple instances of the Summon embed code on the same page

b.)    The fact that I am calling jquery and jquery libraries like jquery-ui and a carousel library are causing the Summon code to get knocked out...inspecting the code, I can see Summon appears to be using a jquery library itself, so that may be causing an issue.

Has anyone implemented Summon search like this before?  Any idea why it's not working out?

Thanks so much
