Bootstrap Tabs and Pills
Bootstrap Menus
Menus are used in most of the web pages. These are defined in an unordered list <ul>. You have to add the .list-inline class to <ul> to create a horizontal menu.
<ul class="list-inline">
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>
</ul>
Bootstrap Tabs
Tabs are created with <ul class="nav nav-tabs">.
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>
</ul>
Tabs With Dropdown Menu
Tabs can also hold dropdown menus. The following example adds a dropdown menu to "Menu 1":
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li class="dropdown">
<a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">Menu 1
<span class="caret"></span></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>
</ul>
Pills
Pills are created with <ul class="nav nav-pills">. Also mark the current page with <li class="active">.
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li class="dropdown">
<a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">Menu 1
<span class="caret"></span></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>
</ul>
Vertical Pills
With .nav-stacked class Pills can also be displayed vertically.
<ul class="nav nav-pills nav-stacked">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>
</ul>
Pills With Dropdown Menu
Pills can also hold dropdown menus.
<ul class="nav nav-pills nav-stacked">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li class="dropdown">
<a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">Menu 1
<span class="caret"></span></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>
</ul>
Centered Tabs and Pills
To center/justify the tabs and pills, use the .nav-justified class.
<ul class="nav nav-pills nav-stacked">
<li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
<li class="dropdown">
<a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">Menu 1
<span class="caret"></span></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Submenu 1-3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Menu 3</a></li>
</ul>
Toggleable / Dynamic Tabs
To make the tabs toggleable, add the data-toggle="tab" attribute to each link. Then add a .tab-pane class with a unique ID for every tab and wrap them inside a <div> element with class .tab-content.
If you want the tabs to fade in and out when clicking on them, add the .fade class to .tab-pane
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li class="active"><a data-toggle="tab" href="#home">Home</a></li>
<li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#menu1">Menu 1</a></li>
<li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#menu2">Menu 2</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content">
<div id="home" class="tab-pane fade in active">
<h3>HOME</h3>
<p>Some content.</p>
</div>
<div id="menu1" class="tab-pane fade">
<h3>Menu 1</h3>
<p>Some content in menu 1.</p>
</div>
<div id="menu2" class="tab-pane fade">
<h3>Menu 2</h3>
<p>Some content in menu 2.</p>
</div>
</div>
Toggleable / Dynamic Pills
The same code applies to pills; only change the data-toggle attribute to data-toggle="pill"
<ul class="nav nav-pills">
<li class="active"><a data-toggle="pill" href="#home">Home</a></li>
<li><a data-toggle="pill" href="#menu1">Menu 1</a></li>
<li><a data-toggle="pill" href="#menu2">Menu 2</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content">
<div id="home" class="tab-pane fade in active">
<h3>HOME</h3>
<p>Some content.</p>
</div>
<div id="menu1" class="tab-pane fade">
<h3>Menu 1</h3>
<p>Some content in menu 1.</p>
</div>
<div id="menu2" class="tab-pane fade">
<h3>Menu 2</h3>
<p>Some content in menu 2.</p>
</div>
</div>
