            <?php include('1.php'); ?>
        </div>
        <div id="tab2" class="tab_content">
            <?php include('2.php'); ?>
        </div>
        <div id="tab3" class="tab_content">
            <?php include('3.php'); ?>
        </div>

        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
/* <![CDATA[ */
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#tabs li").click(function() {
        //  First remove class "active" from currently active tab
        $("#tabs li").removeClass('active');

        //  Now add class "active" to the selected/clicked tab
        $(this).addClass("active");

        //  Hide all tab content
        $(".tab_content").hide();

        //  Here we get the href value of the selected tab
        var selected_tab = $(this).find("a").attr("href");

        //  Show the selected tab content
        $(selected_tab).fadeIn();

        //  At the end, we add return false so that the click on the link is not executed
        return false;
    });
});
/* ]]> */
</script>

I need to tab selected from url that means if http://example.com/settings.php#tab2

tab 2 a active tab. #tab3 then tab 3 a active tab. How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

$(document).ready(function(){
  $(".active").removeClass("active");
  $(document.location.hash).addClass("active");
});

Answer 2

window.onhashchange

use the above native code. it will trigger when there is a hash change in the url

window.onhashchange=function(){
if(document.location.hash ==="#tab2"){
//write your code here
}


}

Hope it will help.
