NewsPublisher Tabs not working

Hi, I can't seem to get tabs to work. I have checked, re-checked, re-typed and dumbed down my call. Here's what I'm using:

[[!NewsPublisher?
&show=`pagetitle,introtext,content`
&parentid=`208`
&usetabs=`1`
&tabs=`{
    "Main" :    ["pagetitle","introtext"],
    "Content" : ["content"]
}`
]]

All that happens is that all fields are presented as one long form, no tabs.

Thanks.

Do you have the latest version of NewsPublisher (1.4.1)?

Yes. Everything was installed fresh just a few days ago. Here's my versions of stuff:

NewsPublisher 1.4.1
TinyMCE 4.3.3
Revo 2.2.4 (traditional)

Do the tabs rely on any javascript that may not be loading?

Thanks for your attention to this Bob.

Yes, they're very JavaScript-dependent. If you use FireBug, you may be able to see JS errors. If you have JS turned off in the browser or the Browser's security settings are too strict, that would also explain it. What browser are you using?

I have tested it in Chrome, Safari and FireFox. I'm also using jQuery on the site, so maybe there's a conflict or perhaps the tabs use jQuery as well and they're trying to load their own version. Javascript gives me something to go on... I'll look in to this further and also test it on a blank template without my jquery call.

I think I found the culprit. The jquery call NewsPublisher is using seems to have a broken URL:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be //ajax.googleapis...

Any idea as to why it would be doing this and where I can go to edit something to put in the right URL?

It's in core/components/newspublisher/model/newspublisher/newspublisher.class.php, but that URL pulled up the JS when I pasted it just now.

It could well be a JQuery conflict if you're also loading a different version of JQuery or if your other JS code uses any of the same variables.

Ok, I've tried it on a blank template (no other jquery or anything else for that matter) and ensured NewsPublisher's jquery call is loading - still not working. I have no idea what to do now, maybe a host specific issue? I'll try it on a different server and see what happens.

Sorry about the trouble. I wish I could look into it more, but I'm buried in work right now.

FYI, this tag is working perfectly for me in MODX 2.2.4 (not that that helps you any):

<p>[[!NewsPublisher?

    &initrte=`1`
    &initDatePicker=`1` 
    &rtcontent=`1`
    &rtsummary=`1`
    &show=`pagetitle,tb_send_date,ShowName,introtext,pub_date,unpub_date,published,content`
    &captions=`content:Enter Your Post Here,FileTV:MyFileTV,introtext:MySummary,rt1:MyRt1`
    &usetabs=`1`
    &activetab=`Main`
    
    &tabs=`{
        "Main" :  ["pagetitle","introtext","content"], 
        "Dates" : ["pub_date", "unpub_date"], 
        "Publish" : ["publish"]
    }`    
    ]]
</p>

No worries. My client can live with it being one long form. Tabs would have been nice, but it's not a deal-breaker. Thanks for taking the time to try and help.

PS. I tried the code you pasted above, it also didn't work on my site.
