Twitter Bootstrap Tab Selection Not Changing Content

Although there are plenty of Twitter Bootstrap questions open that regard similar issues to that which I'm having, I haven't been able to find any solutions to my particular issue.

Solution 1:

You need to move the Bootstrap script reference above your ready event. So, the bottom of your page should look like this:

<script src="public/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
    $('.nav-tabs').tab();
});
</script>

Also, since you specified an HTML5 doctype, the type attribute is optional in the script tag.

EDIT 2:

I'm fairly certain you can get rid of the manual tab binding - I don't use it on my site, and this jsFiddle doesn't do it either: http://jsfiddle.net/C3gQb/

As you can see, you just need to bind the click events of your "tabs", and then it will work. This should work:

<script src="public/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){ 
    $('.nav-tabs a').on('click', function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $(this).tab('show');
    });  
});
</script>

If it doesn't, I suspect there is something unusual about your browser/dev environment that isn't obvious from what you've posted.

EDIT 4

Yeah, we've isolated the problem with your new jsFiddle. I tweaked the top 2 for this version: http://jsfiddle.net/C3gQb/4/ - and those two now work:

$(function(){
    $('.nav-tabs a').on('click', function (e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $(this).tab('show');
    });
});

Solution 2:

I can see that you are referencing an older version of jQuery. Can you upgrade it to 1.9.x? I don't think they are working with an older version of jQuery.

Also, try this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="public/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
    $('.nav-tabs').tab();
});
</script>

And also, please move the bootstrap.min.js before the function.

Solution 3:

Just check the bootstrap version... it should be v2.3.1 +
