Spry links to tabbed panels causing havoc

Question

I have successfully used the tutorial from David Powers' Foundation blog to create a link to an accordion panel, but when I try to create links to 2 different tabbed panel pages, it causes 2 problems within DW.
First the links work to open the correct tabs and the pages display fine on IE7, Firefox and Safari.
Once I add the 'conditional operator' javascript at the end of the page, it causes the tab contents to display continuously out past the end of the widget container in DW, but not on the actual page, live or preview.
The bad problem is that if I close the file and re-open, and sometimes on save, I get the hourglass while it hangs, then after about 40-60 seconds, I get this message:
A script file in c:\..........\Spry\EditUtils.js has been running for a long time. Continue?
I answer No and the page opens and everything seems to work ok, I can edit and such, other than the tab contents running off the page.
I have checked the pages and removed all errors except tabindex and table bordercolor (which are allowed even though they show error on validate). And I have confirmed that the necessary spry link code is the same as the accordion panel page that works, except for the different identifiers of panel vs tab.
Here is a link to the page and the page:
http://www.wilsonchiropractic.net/Services/Hormone.html?tab=1#TabbedPanels1
http://www.wilsonchiropractic.net/Services/Hormone.html
This is the relevant spry link code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="../SpryAssets/SpryURLUtils.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var params = Spry.Utils.getLocationParamsAsObject(); </script>
var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("TabbedPanels1", {defaultTab: params.tab ? params.tab : 0});
When I take out the latter operator from the bottom line-
, {defaultTab: params.tab ? params.tab : 0}
  everything goes back to normal.
Please Help! Thank You!!

I have since re-created a simple page with the only complex element being the spry navigation bar. All else is essentially a stripped down version of the same page with an accordion panel which works. (all my pages are identical in header, navigation and footer - central frame holds differing content within tab or accordion panels).
I put a simple 2-tab panel onto a new page and added the above JavaScript for linking to spry tabs or accordions. It still does the same thing within DW; the separate tab panels run out down the page and it hangs with the eventual message: A script file in c:\..........\Spry\EditUtils.js has been running for a long time. Continue?
I have tried isolating as many variables as I can think of, but not having any luck....

Hi Jeff,
I am not able to reproduce this issue on a new page, but it looks like you have found that the following code is the problem:
{defaultTab: params.tab ? params.tab : 0}
Can you instead try the default constructor and then set the tab via the showTab() function for this tabbed panel?  This is essentially what happens with the constructor you are having trouble with.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
