create 2 different tabs in the same page

Question

Would you please have a look at this fiddle and let me know how I can update the code to have 2 different tabs, so when the user click on the Student Search first tab the dashboard tab remain active.

Below is the code I'm using to activate/show/hide the tabs

 $(function () {
        $('ul.tabs li:first').addClass('active');
        $('.block article').hide();
        $('.block article:first').show();
        $('ul.tabs li').on('click', function () {
            $('ul.tabs li').removeClass('active');
            $(this).addClass('active')
            $('.block article').hide();
            var activeTab = $(this).find('a').attr('href');
            $(activeTab).show();
            return false;
        });
    });

Thanks

$(function () {
    $('ul.tabs li:first').addClass('active');
    $('.block article').hide();

    $('.block article:first-child').show();

    $('ul.tabs li').on('click', function () {

        $(this).parents('.panel').find('ul.tabs li').removeClass('active');

        $(this).addClass('active');

        $(this).parents('.panel').find('.block article').hide();
        var activeTab = $(this).find('a').attr('href');
        $(activeTab).show();
        return false;
        });
    });

Also, add $('.block article:first-child').show(); to make the first tab of the second block show after loading.

Edit: Updated with active tabs for two panels.

You have to combine your code for the current parent.

Find this line:

$("ul.tabs li").removeClass('active');

The above line generically, not for the particular tab, resets all the tabs. So what you need is to find the parent .tabs container and reset only to that.

And replace it with this:

$(this).closest(".tabs").find("li").removeClass('active');

Fiddle:

 $(function () { $('ul.tabs li:first-child').addClass('active'); $('.block article').hide(); $('.block article:first-child').show(); $('ul.tabs li').on('click', function () { $(this).closest(".tabs").find("li").removeClass('active'); $(this).addClass('active') $('.block article').hide(); var activeTab = $(this).find('a').attr('href'); $(activeTab).show(); return false; }); }); 

 @import url("http://getbootstrap.com/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"); .wrapper { background: white; margin: auto; padding: 0em; width: 100%; } ul.tabs { list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; } ul.tabs li { border: gray solid 1px; border-bottom: none; float: left; margin: 0 .25em 0 0; padding: .25em .5em; } ul.tabs li a { color: black; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; } ul.tabs li.active { background: #2fa4e7; } ul.tabs li.active a { color: white; } .clr { clear: both; width: 100%; } article { border-top: gray solid 1px; padding: 0 0em; width: 100%; }

Just change :first to :first-child for what you need!

You can try this.

    $(function () {
        $('ul.tabs li:first').addClass('active');
        $('.block article').hide();
        $('.block article:first').show();
        $('ul.tabs li').on('click', function () {
            $(this).parents('.tabs').find('li').removeClass('active');
            $(this).addClass('active')
          $(this).parents('.wrapper').find('article').hide();
            var activeTab = $(this).find('a').attr('href');
            $(activeTab).show();
            return false;
        });
    });

you can use Jquery tabs. when something is already available then why bother to do something again

here is the jquery solution

  $(function() { $("#tabs").tabs(); $("#tabs1").tabs(); });
