I'm trying to determine whether or not the tab is active. I can get it to work after two clicks of the button, but not the first. It's like my code it not registering the first click. I'm trying to determine if the first li with an ID of screen is active. If it is, I want to hide the btnRew button. Again this works after I click the btnFw button twice, but not after the first time.

Answer 1

if (document.getElementById("screen").classList.contains('active')) {
  console.log('its active');
  $('.btnRew').hide();
}

Please try this to check if your element with id "screen" has a class "active".

Answer 2

Let me explain that.. the a with # href it takes few msecond/seconds to take effects it may be not noticeable with human eyes but still has a delay to make the action.. if you add a little bit of time using setTimeout() like the next example you'll got the point

 $(document).ready(function() { $('.btnRew').hide(); $('.btnFw').click(function() { //$('.nav-tabs.active').parent().next('li').find('a').trigger('click'); $('.nav-link.active').parent().next('li').find('a').trigger('click'); checky(); }); $('.btnRew').click(function() { //$('.nav-tabs.active').parent().prev('li').find('a').trigger('click'); $('.nav-link.active').parent().prev('li').find('a').trigger('click'); checky(); }); }); function checky() { setTimeout( function (){ if ($("#screen").hasClass('active')) { console.log('its active'); $('.btnRew').hide(); } else { console.log('not active'); $('.btnRew').show(); } }, 500); }

So it will be much easier to check for the first nav-link active class instead of check the #screen element

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.btnRew').hide();
  
  $('.btnFw').click(function() {
    $('.nav-link.active').parent().next('li').find('a').trigger('click');
    checky();
  });
  
  $('.btnRew').click(function() {
    $('.nav-link.active').parent().prev('li').find('a').trigger('click');
    checky();
  });
  
 
});

function checky() {
    if ($(".nav-tabs .nav-link:eq(0)").hasClass('active')) {
      console.log('its active');
      $('.btnRew').hide();
    } else {
      console.log('not active');
      $('.btnRew').show();
    }
    
  }
