Tabs with IE7

We have a client using IE7, and they cannot see the tabs we create. (FYI: Same issue when testing using IE8 and turning "Compatibility mode on.)

Here's a simple ZUL to demonstrate:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<zk>
<tabbox hflex="min" vflex="min">
<tabs>
<tab label="Tab One" />
<tab label="Tab Two" />
</tabs>
<tabpanels>
<tabpanel>
<label value="VALUE One"/>
</tabpanel>
<tabpanel>
<label value="VALUE Two"/>
</tabpanel>
</tabpanels>
</tabbox>
</zk>

On IE 8, this has two tabs.
But, in IE 7 we don't see the tabs.
Any ideas? Does this work for anyone? If it does, then could it be some changes we made in our CSS?

thanks

Thanks for the replies. It appears to be something in our custom-theme.
We had used ZK 3.x as a starting point and had made changes to the CSS and images.
It never worked well with IE7, which was not a problem until now... since our users were using other browsers.
I will have to compare some CSS files in detail to see what needs to change.

A related question. I see that the Style Guide has a link to the UN-compressed versions of the CSS files on Github (e.g. https://github.com/zkoss/zk/blob/master/zul/src/archive/web/js/zul/tab/css/tabbox.css.dsp)

Are these UN-compressed versions also contained in one of the dowloadable ZK files?

thanks

the css was compressed when releasing, you check source code at
https://github.com/zkoss/zk/, select a branch to see the corresponding version.

Thanks.

Our problem with IE7 turned out to be a height:100% on some z.tab-xxx CSS classes. We had customized these.
