How do I open javascript div tabs with a link on the page

Question

I am trying to use a link to open a specific tab that is created using divs and the tabs open and close using javascript.

Here are the tabs and the javascript is within the script tags at the bottom:

<div class="span12 module_cont module_tabs">      
        <div class="shortcode_tabs">
            <div class="all_heads_cont">
                <div class="shortcode_tab_item_title it1 head1 active" data-open="body1">%%LNG_ProductDescription%%</div>
                <div class="shortcode_tab_item_title it2 head2" id="reviews" data-open="body2">%%LNG_JS_Reviews%%</div>
                <div class="shortcode_tab_item_title it3 head3" data-open="body3">%%LNG_JS_ProductVideos%%</div>
                <div class="shortcode_tab_item_title it4 head4" data-open="body4">%%LNG_JS_SimilarProducts%%</div>
            </div>
            <div class="all_body_cont">
                <div class="shortcode_tab_item_body body1 it1">
                    <div class="ip">
                        %%Panel.ProductDescription%%
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="shortcode_tab_item_body body2 it2">
                    <div class="ip">
                        %%Panel.ProductReviews%%                               
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="shortcode_tab_item_body body3 it3">
                    <div class="ip">

                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="shortcode_tab_item_body body4 it4">
                    <div class="ip">
                        %%Panel.SimilarProductsByTag%%
                        %%Panel.ProductByCategory%%
                        %%Panel.ProductVendorsOtherProducts%%
                        %%Panel.SimilarProductsByCustomerViews%%

                jQuery(this).addClass('active');
            });

            jQuery('reviews').live('click', function(){
                jQuery(this).parents('.shortcode_tabs').find('.shortcode_tab_item_body').removeClass('active');

        </script>                                        
</div><!-- .module_cont -->

All I want to do is have a link on the same page that activates the reviews tab (id="reviews") and is also known as the body2.

all I have so far for my link is:

<a href="#reviews">Reviews</a>

Help. My brain hurts...

Answer 1

You just need to set the link up so that it doesn't take the user to a new page, and then setup a click event to open the tab up. Example:

HTML:

<a href='javascript:void(0);' id='reviewLink'>Review Tab</a>

JavaScript:

$('#reviewLink').click(function() {
    $('.shortcode_tab_item_body').css({display:'none'});
    $('.body2').css({display:'none'});
});
