Usage
Enable tabbable tabs via JavaScript (each tab needs to be activated individually):
$('#myTab a').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault()
$(this).tab('show')
})
You can activate individual tabs in several ways:
$('#myTab a[href="#profile"]').tab('show') // Select tab by name
$('#myTab a:first').tab('show') // Select first tab
$('#myTab a:last').tab('show') // Select last tab
$('#myTab li:eq(2) a').tab('show') // Select third tab (0-indexed)
Markup
You can activate a tab or pill navigation without writing any JavaScript by simply specifying data-toggle="tab" or data-toggle="pill" on an element. Adding the nav and nav-tabs classes to the tab ul will apply the Bootstrap tab styling, while adding the nav and nav-pills classes will apply pill styling.
<!-- Nav tabs -->
<ul class="nav nav-tabs" role="tablist">
<li class="active"><a href="#home" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#profile" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Profile</a></li>
<li><a href="#messages" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Messages</a></li>
<li><a href="#settings" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Settings</a></li>
</ul>
<!-- Tab panes -->
<div class="tab-content">
<div class="tab-pane active" id="home">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="profile">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="messages">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="settings">...</div>
</div>
Fade effect
To make tabs fade in, add .fade to each .tab-pane. The first tab pane must also have .in to properly fade in initial content.
<div class="tab-content">
<div class="tab-pane fade in active" id="home">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane fade" id="profile">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane fade" id="messages">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane fade" id="settings">...</div>
</div>
