Usage

Enable tabbable tabs via JavaScript (each tab needs to be activated individually):

  1. $('#myTab a').click(function (e) {
  2. e.preventDefault();
  3. $(this).tab('show');
  4. })

You can activate individual tabs in several ways:

  1. $('#myTab a[href="#profile"]').tab('show'); // Select tab by name
  2. $('#myTab a:first').tab('show'); // Select first tab
  3. $('#myTab a:last').tab('show'); // Select last tab
  4. $('#myTab li:eq(2) a').tab('show'); // Select third tab (0-indexed)

Markup

You can activate a tab or pill navigation without writing any JavaScript by simply specifying data-toggle="tab" or data-toggle="pill" on an element. Adding the nav and nav-tabs classes to the tab ul will apply the Bootstrap tab styling.

  1. <ul class="nav nav-tabs">
  2. <li><a href="#home" data-toggle="tab">Home</a></li>
  3. <li><a href="#profile" data-toggle="tab">Profile</a></li>
  4. <li><a href="#messages" data-toggle="tab">Messages</a></li>
  5. <li><a href="#settings" data-toggle="tab">Settings</a></li>
  6. </ul>

Methods

$().tab

Activates a tab element and content container. Tab should have either a data-target or an href targeting a container node in the DOM.

  1. <ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab">
  2. <li class="active"><a href="#home">Home</a></li>
  3. <li><a href="#profile">Profile</a></li>
  4. <li><a href="#messages">Messages</a></li>
  5. <li><a href="#settings">Settings</a></li>
  6. </ul>
  7.  
  8. <div class="tab-content">
  9. <div class="tab-pane active" id="home">...</div>
  10. <div class="tab-pane" id="profile">...</div>
  11. <div class="tab-pane" id="messages">...</div>
  12. <div class="tab-pane" id="settings">...</div>
  13. </div>
  14.  
  15. <script>
  16. $(function () {
  17. $('#myTab a:last').tab('show');
  18. })
  19. </script>

Example accordion

Using the collapse plugin, we built a simple accordion style widget:

        <div class="accordion" id="accordion2">
        <div class="accordion-group">
        <div class="accordion-heading">
        <a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion2" href="#collapseOne">
        Collapsible Group Item #1
        </a>
        </div>
        <div id="collapseOne" class="accordion-body collapse in">
        <div class="accordion-inner">
        Anim pariatur cliche...
        </div>
        </div>
        </div>
        <div class="accordion-group">
        <div class="accordion-heading">
        <a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion2" href="#collapseTwo">
        Collapsible Group Item #2
        </a>
        </div>
        <div id="collapseTwo" class="accordion-body collapse">
        <div class="accordion-inner">
        Anim pariatur cliche...
        </div>
        </div>
        </div>
        </div>
        ...
    

You can also use the plugin without the accordion markup. Make a button toggle the expanding and collapsing of another element.

        <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#demo">
        simple collapsible
        </button>

        <div id="demo" class="collapse in"> … </div>
    

Usage

Via data attributes

Just add data-toggle="collapse" and a data-target to element to automatically assign control of a collapsible element. The data-target attribute accepts a css selector to apply the collapse to. Be sure to add the class collapse to the collapsible element. If you'd like it to default open, add the additional class in.

To add accordion-like group management to a collapsible control, add the data attribute data-parent="#selector". Refer to the demo to see this in action.

Via JavaScript

Enable manually with:

$(".collapse").collapse()

Options

Options can be passed via data attributes or JavaScript. For data attributes, append the option name to data-, as in data-parent="".

Name type default description
parent selector false If selector then all collapsible elements under the specified parent will be closed when this collapsible item is shown. (similar to traditional accordion behavior)
toggle boolean true Toggles the collapsible element on invocation

Methods

.collapse(options)

Activates your content as a collapsible element. Accepts an optional options object.

            $('#myCollapsible').collapse({
                toggle: false
            })
        

.collapse('toggle')

Toggles a collapsible element to shown or hidden.

.collapse('show')

Shows a collapsible element.

.collapse('hide')

Hides a collapsible element.

Events

Bootstrap's collapse class exposes a few events for hooking into collapse functionality.

Event Description
show This event fires immediately when the show instance method is called.
shown This event is fired when a collapse element has been made visible to the user (will wait for css transitions to complete).
hide This event is fired immediately when the hide method has been called.
hidden This event is fired when a collapse element has been hidden from the user (will wait for css transitions to complete).
            $('#myCollapsible').on('hidden', function () {
                // do something…
            })
