How to open specific tab of bootstrap nav tabs on click of a particuler link using jQuery?

Question

I am new to jquery and bootstrap,so please consider my mistakes.I have created a bootstrap modal for login and registration. It contains two nav-tabs called as login and reg

Answer 1

Applying a selector from the .nav-tabs seems to be working

HTML is

    
AAA
    
BBB
    
CCC


    
...Content...
    
...Content...
    
...Content...

Script is

$(document).ready(function(){
  activaTab('aaa');
});

function activaTab(tab){
  $('.nav-tabs a[href="#' + tab + '"]').tab('show');
};
