Buttons in tabbed panels

Question

EDIT: Nevermind, had to set flow layout for the inner panels. Thanks!
Hello, so I have an application using swing, and it has tabs that allow a user to move between different options that the program has... unfortunatly when I added the tabs and added the buttons to the tabbed pane, they are very tall, and stretched, impossible to use (if you like, I can post a pic)...
I believe I know whats wrong, and how to fix it, I just dont know how to go about doing it... am I correct in that I need to create a sub grid layout and attach that to the pane, then attach the buttons to that?
Heres the code that I believe is causing the problem...
                    JTabbedPane jtbExample = new JTabbedPane();
                    setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1));
                  JPanel jplInnerPanel1 = createInnerPanel("Tab 1 Contains Tooltip and Icon");
                  jtbExample.addTab("One", jplInnerPanel1);
                  jtbExample.setSelectedIndex(0);
                  JPanel jplInnerPanel2 = createInnerPanel("Tab 2 Contains Icon only");
                  jtbExample.addTab("Two", jplInnerPanel2);
                  JPanel jplInnerPanel3  = createInnerPanel("Tab 3 Contains Tooltip and Icon");
                  jtbExample.addTab("Three", jplInnerPanel3);
                  JPanel jplInnerPanel4 = createInnerPanel("Tab 4 Contains Text only");
                  jtbExample.addTab("Four", jplInnerPanel4);
                  //Add the tabbed pane to this panel.
                  add(jtbExample);
          for(int x = 0; x < diceRollNumber; x++){
               dInput[x] = new JTextField(10);
               jplInnerPanel1.add(dInput[x]);
               dButton[x] = new JButton("Roll");
               dButton[x].setToolTipText("Click to roll. EX 1D4+2");
               dButton[x].addActionListener(this);
               dButton[x].setSize(10,10);
             jplInnerPanel1.add(dButton[x]);
             dOutput[x] = new JTextField(4);
             dOutput[x].setEditable(false);
             jplInnerPanel1.add(dOutput[x]);Message was edited by:

Thanks for the responses. Later in the day, I found the
answer. It's an IE bug sometimes known as the guillotine bug. Guess
it's been around in IE6 for a while, but IE7 has problems with it
as well. It has to do with the float not taking up the right around
of space especially when using a hover behavior. There are some
workarounds, but the easiest was to add the following CSS to the
image tag:
position: relative
That took care of it. Don't know why, but hey, it works!
Thanks again for checking it out.
