I have some \'static\' HTML on my page:

Use my Nuget package for lazyloading bootstrap tabs here, its very simple, just add "lazyload" class to the "ul" element of bootstrap tabs, then add "data-url" equal to url to load to the any tabs anchor element (a). thats it.
https://www.nuget.org/packages/MT.BootstrapTabsLazyLoader.js/
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".nav-tabs a").click(function(){
$(this).tab('show');
});
$('.nav-tabs a').on('shown.bs.tab', function(event){
alert('tab shown');
});
});
The correct event binding for tab change is shown.bs.tab
.
$(document).on('shown.bs.tab', 'a[data-toggle="tab"]', function (e) {
alert('TAB CHANGED');
})

This is still the correct answer however, this is a bit of additional helpful information found all the way at the bottom of the official bootstrap docs page at: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.5/components/navs/#tabs
$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
e.target // newly activated tab
e.relatedTarget // previous active tab
})
You can determine which tab has been selected each time the code fires with e.target
.
If you have unique IDs on your elements then you could do something like the following so code only runs when the appropriate tab is clicked.
$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
switch (e.target.id){
case "mainTab":{
doMainTabStuff();
break;
}
case "configTab":{
doConfigTabStuff();
break;
}
}
})
<a data-toggle="tab" href="#some_special_tab_anchor">
<div id="some_special_tab_anchor" class="tab-pane fade">
special tab content
</div>
$( 'a[data-toggle="tab"]' ).on( 'shown.bs.tab', function( evt ) {
var anchor = $( evt.target ).attr( 'href' );
alert("TAB SHOWN = "+anchor);
// take action based on what tab was shown
if(anchor === "some_special_tab_anchor"){
// do my special thing :)
}
});
'show' and 'shown' events didn't work for me. My solution is not exactly specifically OP's situation, but the general concepts are there.
I had the same issue with bootstrap forcing its own onclick events on tabs (menu buttons and content panels). I wanted to lazy load stuff into a panel depending on what menu button was clicked, and some buttons show a panel on the current page, others were to load a page into an iframe.
At first, I stuffed data into a hidden form field tag, which was the same issue. The trick is to detect some sort of change and act on that. I solved the problem by forcing a change and using an alternate event listening on the buttons without having to touch bootstrap.
1) stash iframe target in button as data attribute:
$('#btn_for_iframe').attr('data-url',iframeurl);
2) bind alternate event onto fire off thingy, and inside, swap out the iframe source
$('#btn_for_iframe').on('mouseup',function(){
console.log(this+' was activated');
$('#iframe').attr('src',$('#btn_for_iframe').attr('data-url'));
});
3) force 'change' event on panel shows, then load iframe src
$('#iframe_panel_wrapper').show().trigger('change');
or you can put the change trigger in the mouseup above.
