Bootstrap 4 - redirect to a specific tab

Question

I'm using bootstrap 4 for a little project, I'm looking to have a system of "tabs", which is very well done on Bootstrap. the problem is that I try to redirect the use on a particular TAB. Do it via IDs and the <a> tag in html does not work and I do not have any knowledge of JS.

Here are the tabs :

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-Zug+QiDoJOrZ5t4lssLdxGhVrurbmBWopoEl+M6BdEfwnCJZtKxi1KgxUyJq13dy" crossorigin="anonymous"> <ul class="nav nav-pills mb-3" id="pills-tab" role="tablist"> <li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link active" id="pills-home-tab" data-toggle="pill" href="#pills-home" role="tab" aria-controls="pills-home" aria-selected="true">Home</a> </li> <li class="nav-item" id="mdr"> <a class="nav-link" id="pills-profile-tab" data-toggle="pill" href="#pills-profile" role="tab" aria-controls="pills-profile" aria-selected="false">Profile</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link" id="pills-contact-tab" data-toggle="pill" href="#pills-contact" role="tab" aria-controls="pills-contact" aria-selected="false">Contact</a> </li> </ul> <div class="tab-content" id="pills-tabContent"> <div class="tab-pane fade show active" id="pills-home" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="pills-home-tab">TAB 1</div> <div class="tab-pane fade" id="pills-profile" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="pills-profile-tab">TAB TWO</div> <div class="tab-pane fade" id="pills-contact" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="pills-contact-tab">Three TABS</div> </div> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js" integrity="sha384-KJ3o2DKtIkvYIK3UENzmM7KCkRr/rE9/Qpg6aAZGJwFDMVNA/GpGFF93hXpG5KkN" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.12.9/umd/popper.min.js" integrity="sha384-ApNbgh9B+Y1QKtv3Rn7W3mgPxhU9K/ScQsAP7hUibX39j7fakFPskvXusvfa0b4Q" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta.3/js/bootstrap.min.js" integrity="sha384-a5N7Y/aK3qNeh15eJKGWxsqtnX/wWdSZSKp+81YjTmS15nvnvxKHuzaWwXHDli+4" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> 

I would like with a link to be able to change the tab of the user (by a link) without clicking on the tab :(

Thank you!

Answer 1

Have you tried to redirect the user to page-URL#tab_id?

If this does not work, I have tried the solution post at https://codepen.io/rnr/pen/dMNZmx It works well in my test.

Just copy the JS code to your HTML file, put it in between an open and a close script tag. like this (after loading the jquery package, ie after your code shown above. ):

<script>
/* COPY THE JS CODE HERE */
</script>
