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"> <li class="active"><a href="#home" data-toggle="tab">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#profile" data-toggle="tab">Profile</a></li> <li><a href="#messages" data-toggle="tab">Messages</a></li> <li><a href="#settings" 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>			

Methods

$().tab

Activates a tab element and content container. Tab should have either a data-target or an href targeting a container node in the DOM.

<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab"> <li class="active"><a href="#home" data-toggle="tab">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#profile" data-toggle="tab">Profile</a></li> <li><a href="#messages" data-toggle="tab">Messages</a></li> <li><a href="#settings" data-toggle="tab">Settings</a></li></ul><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><script> $(function () {	$('#myTab a:last').tab('show') })</script>
