How to open specific tab of bootstrap nav tabs on click of a particuler link using jQuery?
JavascriptJqueryHtmlCssTwitter BootstrapJavascript Problem Overview
I am new to jquery and bootstrap,so please consider my mistakes.I have created a bootstrap modal for login and registration. It contains two nav-tabs called as login and registration.I have two buttons that popup the same Modal window, but display a different tab inside the Modal window. In each tab is a form with a number of inputs. My issue is getting the modal popped up with login tab opened in the modal when i click on the 'login' button and registration tab opened when i click on the 'register' button on my page.
These are 2 links on which the modal opens:
<div class="header-login-li" style="background-color:gray;float:left;width:100px;height:60px;">
<a data-toggle="modal" href="#regestration" class="header-register-a" >
<big>
<font color="white" class="header-register-font"><center style="margin-top:20px;">Login <i class="icon-chevron-down" style="font-size:20px"></i></center></font>
</big></a></div>
<div class="header-register-li" style="background-color:green;float:right;margin-right:-15px;width:130px;height:60px;">
<a data-toggle="modal" href="#regestration" class="header-register-a" >
<big>
<font color="white" class="header-register-font"><center style="margin-top:20px;">Register</center></font>
</big></a>
Here is my code of tabs and their contents(i am avoiding unnecessary code here):
<div class="tabbable" >
<ul class="nav nav-tabs" ><!--tabs-->
<li class="active" style="position:absolute;margin-left:0px;" id="logintab">
<a href="#pane_login" data-toggle="tab">Login</a></li>
<li style="margin-left:70px;" id="reg_tab" ><a href="#pane_reg" data-toggle="tab">Registration</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content"><!--login tab content-->
<div id="pane_login" class="tab-pane active">
<form id="login-form" target="login-signup-iframe" method="post" action="#" name="login-form">
</form>
</div><!--/pane_login-->
<div id="pane_reg" class="tab-pane"><!--registration tab content-->
<form id="regestration-form" target="login-signup-iframe" method="post" action="#" name="regestration-form">
</form>
</div>
</div><!-- /.tab-content -->
</div><!-- /.tabbable -->
I think this can be done through jquery easily.But i dont know exactly how to do it. So,please can anyone help me to solve my problem.Thank you in advance ?
Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
Applying a selector from the .nav-tabs seems to be working
HTML is
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li><a href="#aaa" data-toggle="tab">AAA</a></li>
<li><a href="#bbb" data-toggle="tab">BBB</a></li>
<li><a href="#ccc" data-toggle="tab">CCC</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content" id="tabs">
<div class="tab-pane" id="aaa">...Content...</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="bbb">...Content...</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="ccc">...Content...</div>
</div>
Script is
$(document).ready(function(){
activaTab('aaa');
});
function activaTab(tab){
$('.nav-tabs a[href="#' + tab + '"]').tab('show');
};
Solution 2 - Javascript
HTML:
<a href="PageName.php#tabID">link to other page tab</a>
Javascript:
window.onload = function(){
var url = document.location.toString();
if (url.match('#')) {
$('.nav-tabs a[href="#' + url.split('#')[1] + '"]').tab('show');
}
//Change hash for page-reload
$('.nav-tabs a[href="#' + url.split('#')[1] + '"]').on('shown', function (e) {
window.location.hash = e.target.hash;
});
}
Solution 3 - Javascript
You may access through tab Id as well, But that id is unique for same page. Here is an example for same
$('#product_detail').tab('show');
In above example #product_details
is nav
tab
id
Solution 4 - Javascript
Hi Try this one folks!
$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function(e) {
// save current clicked tab in local storage does not work in Stacksnippets
// localStorage.setItem('lastActiveTab', $(this).attr('href'));
});
//get last active tab from local storage
var lastTab = "#profile"; // localStorage.getItem('lastActiveTab');
console.log(lastTab + "tab was last active")
if (lastTab) {
$('[href="' + lastTab + '"]').tab('show');
}

Solution 6 - Javascript
function updateURL(url_params) {
if (history.pushState) {
var newurl = window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host + window.location.pathname + '?' + url_params;
window.history.replaceState({path:newurl},'',newurl);
}
}
function setActiveTab(tab) {
$('.nav-tabs li').removeClass('active');
$('.tab-content .tab-pane').removeClass('active');
$('a[href="#tab-' + tab + '"]').closest('li').addClass('active');
$('#tab-' + tab).addClass('active');
}
// Set active tab
$url_params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
// Get active tab and remember it
$('a[data-toggle="tab"]')
.on('click', function() {
$href = $(this).attr('href')
$active_tab = $href.replace('#tab-', '');
$url_params.set('tab', $active_tab);
updateURL($url_params.toString());
});
if ($url_params.has('tab')) {
$tab = $url_params.get('tab');
$tab = '#tab-' + $tab;
$myTab = JSON.stringify($tab);
$thisTab = $('.nav-tabs a[href=' + $myTab +']');
$('.nav-tabs a[href=' + $myTab +']').tab('show');
}
Solution 7 - Javascript
May I suggest a php+css solution I used on my site? It's simple and no js problems :)
url to page: <a href="page.php?tab=menu1">link to menu1</a>
<?
$tab = $_GET['tab'];
?>
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li class="<? if ($tab=='menu1' OR $tab=='menu2')
{
echo "";
}
else {
echo "active";
}
?>"><a data-toggle="tab" href="#home">Prodotti</a></li>
<li class="<? if ($tab=='menu1')
{
echo "active";
}
?>"><a data-toggle="tab" href="#menu1">News</a></li>
<li class="<? if ($tab=='menu2')
{
echo "active";
}
?>"><a data-toggle="tab" href="#menu2">Gallery</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content">
<div id="home" class="tab-pane fade <? if ($tab=='menu1' OR $tab=='menu2')
{
echo "";
}
else {
echo "in active";
}
?>
">
<h3>Prodotti</h3>
<p>Contenuto della pagina, zona prodotti</p>
</div>
<div id="menu1" class="tab-pane fade <? if ($tab=='menu1')
{
echo "in active";
}
?>">
<h3>News</h3>
<p>Qui ci saranno le news.</p>
</div>
<div id="menu2" class="tab-pane fade <? if ($tab=='menu2')
{
echo "in active";
}
?>">
<h3>Gallery</h3>
<p>Qui ci sarĂ la gallery</p>
</div>
</div>
Solution 8 - Javascript
I wrote this snippet, that I've been using for handling this exact case.
It's in plain javascript, making it also suitable in cases like with bootsrap5 without jQuery.
<script type='text/javascript'>
window.onhashchange=hashTriggerTab;
window.onload=hashTriggerTab;
function hashTriggerTab(){
var current_hash=window.location.hash;
if(current_hash.substring(0,1)=='#')current_hash=current_hash.substring(1);
if(current_hash!=''){
var trigger=document.querySelector('.nav-tabs a[href="#'+current_hash+'"]');
if(trigger)trigger.click();
}
}
</script>
With that in place, you could link both on the same page, like:
<a href='#tabId'>Link Any Tab</a>
Or from external page like:
<a href='newpage.php#tabId'>Link From External</a>
Solution 9 - Javascript
Not sure if I understood correctly but here is snippet that I use to open links from Bootstrap tab menu:
HTML
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li class="active"><a href="#foo" data-toggle="tab">Foo</a></li>
<li><a href="#bar" data-toggle="tab">Bar</a></li>
<li><a href="baz.html" class="external">Baz</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content">
<div class="tab-pane active" id="foo">Foo</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="bar">Bar</div>
</div>
Javascript
$('.nav a:not(".external")').click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault()
$(this).tab('show')
})
