How to switch between tabs using href?

I've created a tabbed pane here - LINK

In Tab 1, I have a piece of text. When clicked, I'd like it to show the second tab. I've tried all variations of #tab2, #mtabs#tab2 , etc but nothing seems to work.

How do I navigate it to the second tab's content?

HTML Code:

<div id="mtabs">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#tab1" rel="tab1">Tab 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#tab2" rel="tab2">Tab 2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#tab3" rel="tab3">Tab 3</a></li>
        <li class="active"><a href="#tab4" rel="tab4">Tab 4</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

<div id="mtabs_content_container">
    <div id="tab1" class="mtab_content">
      <p><a href="#mtabs_wrapper#mtabs_content_container#tab2">Take me to Tab 2</a></p>
    </div>
    <div id="tab2" class="mtab_content">
        <p>Tab content 2</p>
    </div>
    <div id="tab3" class="mtab_content">
        <p>Tab content 3</p>
    </div>
<div id="tab4" class="mtab_content" style="display: block;">
  <p>Tab content 4</p>
    </div>

</div>
<!-- Original tabs END -->

CSS Code:

#mtabs_wrapper {
    width: 422px;
}
#mtabs_container {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
}
#mtabs {
    list-style: none;
    padding: 5px 0 4px 0;
    margin: 0 0 0 0px;
    /* font: 0.75em arial; */
}
#mtabs li {
    display: inline;
}
#mtabs li a {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    padding: 4px 6px;
    text-decoration: none;
    color:#000;
    font-family: Artifika, serif; 
    background-color: #eeeeee;
    font-size:14px;
    /*border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
    outline: none;*/
    border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    -moz-border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    -webkit-border-top-left-radius: 5px;
    -webkit-border-top-right-radius: 5px;
}
#mtabs li a:hover {
    background-color: #dddddd;
    padding: 4px 6px;
}
#mtabs li.active a {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
    background-color: #fff;
    padding: 4px 6px 5px 6px;
    /*border-bottom: none;*/
}
#mtabs li.active a:hover {
    background-color: #eeeeee;
    padding: 4px 6px 5px 6px;
    /*border-bottom: none;*/
}

#mtabs li a.icon_accept {
    background-image: url(accept.png);
    background-position: 5px;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    padding-left: 24px;
}
#mtabs li a.icon_accept:hover {
    padding-left: 24px;
}

#mtabs_content_container {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
    padding: 10px;
    width: 600px;
}
.mtab_content {
    display: none;
}

/* TAB CSS END */

Javascript (jQuery actually):

$(document).ready(function(){
    //  When user clicks on tab, this code will be executed
    $("#mtabs li").click(function() {
        //  First remove class "active" from currently active tab
        $("#mtabs li").removeClass('active');

        //  Now add class "active" to the selected/clicked tab
        $(this).addClass("active");

        //  Hide all tab content
        $(".mtab_content").hide();

        //  Here we get the href value of the selected tab
        var selected_tab = $(this).find("a").attr("href");

        //  Show the selected tab content
        $(selected_tab).fadeIn();

        //  At the end, we add return false so that the click on the link is not executed
        return false;
    });
});

in tab header we have

<ul class="nav nav-pills m-1">
                            <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link active" href="#tab_1" data-toggle="tab"> tab1 </a>
                            </li>
                            <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#tab_2" data-toggle="tab">tab2</a>
                            </li>
</ul>

and if you want another button to switch tabs like this:

 <div class="switch-tab btn" data-href="#tab_2">go tab 2</div>

and this is jquery event

$(document).on('click', '.switch-tab', function () {
                    var item=$(this);
                    $('li.nav-item a[href="'+item.data('href')+'"]').click();
                });

Use bootstrap's data-toggle = "tab" and in href use element #id, tab2 class should be tab-pane

<a data-toggle="tab" href="#tab2">Take me to Tab 2</a>
<div class = "tab-content">
<div id="tab2" class = "tab-pane">
tab2 content goes here
</div>
</div>

if You do not want to use external libraries you can use this. Add an identifier to the link and add the click event and emulate a click on the preferred tab. is not practical to do this. but it is an option only if you don't want to use libraries

<a id="simulate">Take me to Tab 2</a>

look at this example.

Would you like to send a link with the hash in the url and it show the tab ?

Like - http://jsbin.com/mawevuwi/1#tab4

For that we would do something like this :

CSS:

.tabs > div { display:none; }
.tabs > div.active { display:block; }

Set up your html / ( use <li>'s if that's what you prefer )

<!-- links -->
<a href="#tab1">Tab1</a>
<a href="#tab2">Tab2</a>
<a href="#tab3">Tab3</a>
<a href="#tab4">Tab4</a>

<!-- content -->
<div class="tabs">
  <div id="tab1"> Tab one content </div>
  <div id="tab2"> Tab Two content </div>
  <div id="tab3"> 
       Tab Three content with a <a href="#tab1">link to tab 1</a>
  </div>
  <div id="tab4"> Tab Four content </div>
</div>

with jQuery

var $tabs = $('.tabs > div'), _currhash, $currTab;

function showTab() {
   if($currTab.length>0) {  
     $tabs.removeClass('active');
     $currTab.addClass('active');
   }
}
/* find the tabs and 'unlink' the id to prevent page jump */
$tabs.each(function() {
   var _id = $(this).attr('id');
   $(this).attr('id',_id+'_tab');
   /* eg we have given the tab an id of 'tab1_tab' */
});

/* set up an anchor 'watch' for the panels */
function anchorWatch() {
  if(document.location.hash.length>0) {
    /* only run if 'hash' has changed */
    if(_currhash!==document.location.hash) {
       _currhash = document.location.hash;
       /* we only want to match the 'unlinked' id's */
       $currTab = $(_currhash+'_tab');
       showTab();
   }
  }
} 
setInterval(anchorWatch,300);
  • We can have nice urls /somepage#tab1, can send these urls as links in email etc ..
  • html is 'as designed' ( named anchors to content id's )
  • Uses classes to do the /show/hide, so we can set CSS animations on the .active class if we like.

You'll need to use Javascript and leverage the tabs API.

HTML:

<a href="#" class="show_tab_2">Take me to Tab 2</a>

Javascript:

$("a.show_tap_2").click(function() {
  $('#mtabs_wrapper').tabs({
    active: 2
  });
});

Try this if you have

<a id="goTab2" href="">Take me to Tab 2</a>

in jquery you can do this 

$("#goTab2").click(function(){
$("#mtabs li:nth-child(2)").click();
return false;
 });
