I need to change the tab when button is pressed, and the tab should be identified by id. The following code doesn't work for me - just the page is reloaded:
<div class="form-actions">
<button class="btn btn-primary" id="btn-next">Next</button>
<button type="reset" class="btn">Clear</button>
</div>
...
<div class="tab-pane active" id="2">
...
$("#btn-next").click(function(event) {
$('#2').tab('show');
});
You can use something like this:
function nextTab(elem) {
$(elem + ' li.active')
.next()
.find('a[data-toggle="tab"]')
.click();
}
function prevTab(elem) {
$(elem + ' li.active')
.prev()
.find('a[data-toggle="tab"]')
.click();
}
and use nextTab('#tab');
or prevTab('#tab');

What about using the data-toggle="tab"
in an <a>
tag? Something like:
<a href="#2" class="btn btn-primary" id="btn-next" data-toggle="tab">Next</a>
