Button to Trigger Nav-Tab with Twitter Bootstrap

Question

This button triggers the next tab to load content, but the tab itself does not switch, it remains on the first tab..

Answer 1

By changing 'data-toggle' to 'data-trigger' for the triggering link, the following code can trigger any tab with the same HREF attribute, for all triggers with similar markup.

(N.B. Selectors are not optimised, it's just a guide to a more flexible solution)

JS:

$( '[data-trigger="tab"]' ).click( function( e ) {
    var href = $( this ).attr( 'href' );
    e.preventDefault();
    $( '[data-toggle="tab"][href="' + href + '"]' ).trigger( 'click' );
} );
