same here with vm 2.0.7, but until now only in ie9. Opera seems to be unaffected.

same here in 2.0.7a and IE9
Firefox seems to be ok

In all versions up to 7 - I could see the tabs -

My client even says that they cannot see the tabs in the back end - I have informed them to use chrome and firefox.

This issue has been discussed previously (see: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=97482.msg323135).
Within that thread 2 suggestions were made, the first being:
To fix it need change in vm2admin.js (in administrator\components\com_virtuemart\assets\js
from      list += '<li style="width:'+tabswidth+'%"><span>'+ $(this).attr('title')+'<span></li>' ;
to      list += '<li style="width:'+tabswidth+'%"><span>'+ $(this).attr('title')+'</span></li>' ;
around Line 14, i.e. simply add a "/" before "span"

This simple addition appears to resolve the tab problem in IE.

However, the 2nd suggestion to "correct look in ie8" has also been tried but it does not appear necessary and also appears to cause issues in other browsers such as Firefox.

So, just try adding the "/" and you may find the tabs will work in IE  - however the full content had always been available by scrolling down the page.

Thanks,

No neither solution worked - As I said before all other browsers are perfect. It has not affect on the useage by clients.

And scrolling down the screen has no effect on my 80cm screen. I do know what you are talking about but that only happened on some small monitors.

I added the / to the span

TAKE CARE, THIS IS IMPORTANT: do not save changes on products when product-tabs are missing! You will loose these informations from the missing tabs if you save.
