Bootstrap Tabs and Pills

Menus


Most web pages have some kind of a menu.


In HTML, a menu is often defined in an unordered list <ul> (and styled
afterwards), like this:




<ul>
  <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>


If you want to create a horizontal menu of the list above, add the
.list-inline class to <ul>:




<ul class="list-inline">

Or you can display the menu above with Bootstraps' Tabs and Pills (see
below).



Note: See the last example on this page to find out how to make tabs and pills toggleable/dynamic.





Tabs



Tabs are created with <ul class="nav nav-tabs">:



Tip: Also mark the current page with <li class="active">.


The following example creates navigation tabs:



Example



<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":



Example



<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">:



Example



<ul class="nav nav-pills">
  <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>

Vertical Pills



Pills can also be displayed vertically. Just add the .nav-stacked class:



Example



<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>

Vertical Pills in a Row

Text...










The following example places the vertical pill menu inside the last column.
So, on a large screen the menu will be displayed to the right. But on a small
screen, the content will automatically adjust itself into a single-column
layout:



Example



<div class="col-md-3">
  <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>
</div>

Pills With Dropdown Menu




Pills can also hold dropdown menus.


The following example adds a dropdown menu to "Menu 1":



Example



<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.


Note that on screens that are smaller than 768px, the list items are stacked
(content will remain centered):



Example



<!-- Centered Tabs -->
<ul class="nav nav-tabs nav-justified">
  <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>

<!-- Centered Pills -->
<ul class="nav nav-pills nav-justified">
  <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>

Toggleable / Dynamic Tabs







HOME


Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.









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:



Example



<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":



Example



<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>
