Bootstrap Tab Activation With Jquery

Bootstrap Tab Activation With jQuery

Are you looking to add some interactive elements to your website to enhance user experience? One popular way to do this is by using Bootstrap tabs, which allow you to organize and display content in a neat and user-friendly manner. In this article, we will guide you on how to activate Bootstrap tabs using jQuery, a powerful JavaScript library.

Before we dive into the code, let's understand the basics. Bootstrap is a front-end framework that provides a set of tools for building responsive websites and web applications. Tabs in Bootstrap allow you to split your content into different sections, making it easier for users to navigate and find the information they need.

To get started, you need to have Bootstrap and jQuery included in your project. If you haven't already added them, you can do so by linking the necessary CDN (Content Delivery Network) files in your HTML document. Here's an example:

<!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->


<!-- jQuery library -->


<!-- Latest compiled and minified JavaScript -->

Once you have the dependencies set up, you can start working on activating Bootstrap tabs with jQuery. First, make sure you have a basic HTML structure for your tabs:

<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab" role="tablist">
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link active" id="home-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#home" role="tab" aria-controls="home">Home</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" id="profile-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#profile" role="tab" aria-controls="profile">Profile</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item">
    <a class="nav-link" id="contact-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#contact" role="tab" aria-controls="contact">Contact</a>
  </li>
</ul>

<div class="tab-content" id="myTabContent">
  <div class="tab-pane fade show active" id="home" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="home-tab">Home content goes here</div>
  <div class="tab-pane fade" id="profile" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="profile-tab">Profile content goes here</div>
  <div class="tab-pane fade" id="contact" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="contact-tab">Contact content goes here</div>
</div>

In this example, we have three tabs: Home, Profile, and Contact. The content for each tab is placed within the corresponding `

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('#myTab a').on('click', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault()
    $(this).tab('show')
  })
})
