Bootstrap .tab("show") method


Use the Bootstrap .tab(“show”) method to display the tabs.

The following are the nav tabs −

<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
  <li class="active"><a href="#home">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#two">PHP</a></li>
  <li><a href="#three">C#.NET</a></li>
  <li><a href="#four">Ruby</a></li>
  <li><a href="#five">HTML5</a></li>
</ul>

Using a script and the tab(“show”) method, the above tabs are displayed as in the following code snippet −

$(document).ready(function(){
  $(".nav-tabs a").click(function(){
    $(this).tab('show');
 });
});

Let us see an example to learn how to display tabs using the tab(“show”) method −
