Why is this not working for me? I literally copied and pasted the whole thing and it still doesn't work. I don't know javascript, btw, only HTML/CSS, so I can't tell if I'm screwing something up there. Still, though, like I said, I literally copied and pasted the code, and I can't get the tabs to switch. The cool looking UI is there, but the tabs won't switch.

Hi all,
I have an issue with a similar page I am working on for work.
I'm pretty new to HTML and sort of picking it up as I go along and thrown myself into the deep end.

I am using nav-tabs but with 8 tabs in total.
My problem is that the last 2 tabs contents are displaying along the bottom of all the other tabs in IE.
Seems to be working fine in Chrome but cannot figure out what I have done wrong for is to display different in IE.
Any help would be appreciated, cheers

@craigmiller160 I am pretty sure this has to with some imports not coming in. Just open u r developer tools and check. One more thing jQuery is coming from a CDN so you should have internet when u open this html page, make sure u have the interent connection. :)

How come the href doesn't work?? I copied and paste it. still when i click on other tabs, nothing happens... why?

The exact code above doesn't work. If you load a more recent version of jQuery (I used v1.12.3), you should be successful.

grafixgeek - I am using jquery-2.2.4 and bootstrap 3.3.6. It worked for me

Why I don't need to add $('#tabs').tab(); to work ?
Only works adding the library jquery "<script jquery... ></script>"

Hi, Thanks,
