Twitter Bootstrap Tabs: Go to Specific Tab on Page Reload or Hyperlink

Here is my solution to the problem, a bit late perhaps. But it could maybe help others:

// Javascript to enable link to tab
var hash = location.hash.replace(/^#/, '');  // ^ means starting, meaning only match the first hash
if (hash) {
    $('.nav-tabs a[href="#' + hash + '"]').tab('show');
} 

// Change hash for page-reload
$('.nav-tabs a').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
    window.location.hash = e.target.hash;
})

Twitter Bootstrap Tabs: Open Specific Tab

You can create a function that adds the active class when a hash exists on page load. Include it in your top script section like so:

$(function () {
    var hashTab = window.location.hash;
    if (hashTab != '') {
        $('.nav-tabs a[href="' + hashTab + '"]').tab('show');
        $(hashTab).addClass('active');
    }
});

How to link to specific tab on other page using Bootstrap3 tabs?

I've tested your example and it works perfectly with one little error. You forgot to put a " in <div class="tab-content> and because of that your example is not working.

Here is the complete working example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>        
        <title>DEMO</title>
        <meta charset="utf-8">

    </head>
    <body>            
        <ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTabs">

            if (hash) {

            }

            // Change hash for page-reload
            $('.nav-tabs a').on('shown', function(e) {

            });

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

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

HTML is

<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
    <li><a href="#aaa" data-toggle="tab">AAA</a></li>
    <li><a href="#bbb" data-toggle="tab">BBB</a></li>
    <li><a href="#ccc" data-toggle="tab">CCC</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content" id="tabs">
    <div class="tab-pane" id="aaa">...Content...</div>
    <div class="tab-pane" id="bbb">...Content...</div>
    <div class="tab-pane" id="ccc">...Content...</div>
</div>

Script is

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

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

Bootstrap 4 - redirect to a specific tab

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, i.e. after your code shown above. ):

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

Go to Specific Tab on Page Reload or Hyperlink where tab is loaded by AJAX

The only way to go to the last tab that has the focus, is to store a reference (using cookies or local storage).

This code uses local storage to store the href value of the focused tab and later retrieve it.

$(function() { 
    $('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
        localStorage.setItem('focustab', $(e.target).attr('href'));
    });

    var focustab = localStorage.getItem('focustab');
    if (focustab) {
        $('[href="' + focustab + '"]').tab('show');
    }
});
