How can I link my button from another page to a Boostrap tab?

I know this question has been asked a bunch, but I can't seem to figure it out. I want the user to be able to click the button and jump to the correct bootstrap tab. I would prefer being able to directly link to the #whatsNew tabpanle, but I don't know if this is possible, so I have been trying to link it to the first tab "#stepOne". Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Solution

  • Use an identifier on the button and assign a handler to its .click() inside which you manually trigger the desired tab's .click().

    HIH

    $('#gotonew').click(function(){
  $('a[href="#whatsNew"]').click();
  console.log($('a[href="#whatsNew"]').text() + ' click triggered');
});
