Twitter Bootsrap 3.0 - tabs-left not working anymore?

I couldn't find an answer to this elsewhere...

In bootstrap 2.x you could use the js tabs functionality and make them show on the left with:

<div class="tabbable tabs-left"> <-- TABS-LEFT HERE!!!

<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab">
  <li class="active"><a href="#home">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#profile">Profile</a></li>
  <li><a href="#messages">Messages</a></li>
  <li><a href="#settings">Settings</a></li>
</ul>

<div class="tab-content">
  <div class="tab-pane active" id="home">...</div>
  <div class="tab-pane" id="profile">...</div>
  <div class="tab-pane" id="messages">...</div>
  <div class="tab-pane" id="settings">...</div>
</div>

</div>

But now that functionality doesn't seem to carry over in bootstrap 3.0 and I don't see any documentation for it on the bootstrap website. Does anyone know if this was removed? It's hard to believe it would be...

Thank you for your help!

This article provides a full answer with code and demo down the page a ways: http://tutsme-webdesign.info/bootstrap-3-toggable-tabs-and-pills/

The simple answer is you need to add .nav-stacked to the and then use the normal row/column system to lay it out. BS3 doesn't natively support floating the tabs around on its own like BS2 did.

http://jsbin.com/kobegaguwa/1/edit

Note that for jsbin preview you need to use xs columns or it will stack everything in 1 column responsively.

The default styling doesn't work very well for tabs, but works ok for pills.

This is how I solved it.

<div class="tabbable tabs-left">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-md-4">
            <ul class="nav nav-pills nav-stacked">
                <li class="active"><a href="#location-tab" data-toggle="tab">Location</a></li>
                <li><a href="#amenities-tab" data-toggle="tab">Amenities</a></li>
                <li><a href="#photos-tab" data-toggle="tab">Photos</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>

        <div class="col-md-8">
    <div class="tab-content">
        <div class="tab-pane active in" id="location-tab">

Unfortunately, as I used them too, it appears that all of the non-default tab alignments have been removed in 3.0 with no equivalent.

Copied directly from the above link, all three tab alignments were removed from 3.0:

  • .tabs-left
  • .tabs-right
  • .tabs-below
