jQuery
It will often be the case that you will need to trigger a jQuery UI tab from a bespoke link.
This can be done using following the formats listed below:
Code
//Latest jQuery UI
$(selector).tabs('option', 'active' ,0);
//Older jQuery UI
$(selector).tabs('select',0);
// Example
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-tab="0">Tab 1</button>
$('[data-tab]').click(function(){
var tabId = $(this).data('tab');
//alert(tabId);
jQueryTabs.tabs('option', 'active', tabId);
//jQueryTabs.tabs('"select', tabId); //older version of jQuiry UI
return false;
});
