About transitions

For simple transition effects, include bootstrap-transition.js once alongside the other JS files. If you're using the compiled (or minified) bootstrap.js, there is no need to include this—it's already there.

Use cases

A few examples of the transition plugin:

• Sliding or fading in modals
• Fading out tabs
• Fading out alerts
• Sliding carousel panes

About modals

A streamlined, but flexible, take on the traditional javascript modal plugin with only the minimum required functionality and smart defaults.

Static example

<div class="modal hide fade">
  <div class="modal-header">
    <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">&times;</button>
    <h3>Modal header</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-body">
    <p>One fine body…</p>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-footer">
    <a href="#" class="btn">Close</a>
    <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</a>
  </div>
</div>

Live demo

Toggle a modal via javascript by clicking the button below. It will slide down and fade in from the top of the page.

Usage

Call the modal via javascript:

$('#myModal').modal(options)

Options

<a data-toggle="modal" href="remote.html" data-target="#modal">click me</a>

Markup

You can activate modals on your page easily without having to write a single line of javascript. Just set data-toggle="modal" on a controller element with a data-target="#foo" or href="#foo" which corresponds to a modal element id, and when clicked, it will launch your modal.

Also, to add options to your modal instance, just include them as additional data attributes on either the control element or the modal markup itself.

<a href="#myModal" role="button" class="btn" data-toggle="modal">Launch Modal</a>

<div class="modal" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
  <div class="modal-header">
    <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
    <h3 id="myModalLabel">Modal header</h3>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-body">
    <p>One fine body…</p>
  </div>
  <div class="modal-footer">
    <a href="#" role="button" class="btn">Close</a>
    <a href="#" role="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</a>
  </div>
</div>

Methods

$('#myModal').modal({
  keyboard: false

$('#myModal').modal('toggle')

Events

Bootstrap's modal class exposes a few events for hooking into modal functionality.

  // do something…
})

About dropdowns

Add dropdown menus to nearly anything in Bootstrap with this simple plugin. Bootstrap features full dropdown menu support on in the navbar, tabs, and pills.

Examples

Click on the dropdown nav links in the navbar and pills below to test dropdowns.

Using bootstrap-dropdown.js

Call the dropdowns via javascript:

$('.dropdown-toggle').dropdown()

Markup

To quickly add dropdown functionality to any element just add data-toggle="dropdown" and any valid bootstrap dropdown will automatically be activated.

<ul class="nav nav-pills">
  <li class="active"><a href="#">Regular link</a></li>
  <li class="dropdown" id="menu1">
    <a id="dLabel" role="button" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#menu1">
      Dropdown
      <b class="caret"></b>
    </a>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="dLabel">
      <li><a tabindex="-1" href="#">Action</a></li>
      <li><a tabindex="-1" href="#">Another action</a></li>
      <li><a tabindex="-1" href="#">Something else here</a></li>
      <li class="divider"></li>
      <li><a tabindex="-1" href="#">Separated link</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  ...
</ul>

To keep URLs intact, use the data-target attribute instead of href="#".

<ul class="nav nav-pills">
  <li class="dropdown">
    <a class="dropdown-toggle" id="dLabel" role="button" data-toggle="dropdown" data-target="#" href="/page.html">
      Dropdown
      <b class="caret"></b>
    </a>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="dLabel">
      ...
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

Methods

$().dropdown()

A programatic api for activating menus for a given navbar or tabbed navigation.

The ScrollSpy plugin is for automatically updating nav targets based on scroll position.

Example navbar with scrollspy

Scroll the area below and watch the navigation update. The dropdown sub items will be highlighted as well. Try it!

Using bootstrap-scrollspy.js

Call the scrollspy via javascript:

$('#navbar').scrollspy()

Markup

To easily add scrollspy behavior to your topbar navigation, just add data-spy="scroll" to the element you want to spy on (most typically this would be the body).

<body data-spy="scroll" >...</body>

Methods

.scrollspy('refresh')

When using scrollspy in conjunction with adding or removing of elements from the DOM, you'll need to call the refresh method like so:

$('[data-spy="scroll"]').each(function () {
  var $spy = $(this).scrollspy('refresh')
});

Options

Events

This plugin adds quick, dynamic tab and pill functionality for transitioning through local content.

Example tabs

Click the tabs below to toggle between hidden panes, even via dropdown menus.

Using bootstrap-tab.js

Enable tabbable tabs via javascript (each tab needs to be activated individually):

$('#myTab a').click(function (e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  $(this).tab('show');
})

You can activate individual tabs in several ways:

$('#myTab a[href="#profile"]').tab('show'); // Select tab by name
$('#myTab a:first').tab('show'); // Select first tab
$('#myTab a:last').tab('show'); // Select last tab
$('#myTab li:eq(2) a').tab('show'); // Select third tab (0-indexed)

Markup

You can activate a tab or pill navigation without writing any javascript by simply specifying data-toggle="tab" or data-toggle="pill" on an element. Adding the nav and nav-tabs classes to the tab ul will apply the bootstrap tab styling.

<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
  <li><a href="#home" data-toggle="tab">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#profile" data-toggle="tab">Profile</a></li>
  <li><a href="#messages" data-toggle="tab">Messages</a></li>
  <li><a href="#settings" data-toggle="tab">Settings</a></li>
</ul>

Methods

$().tab

Activates a tab element and content container. Tab should have either a data-target or an href targeting a container node in the DOM.

<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab">
  <li class="active"><a href="#home">Home</a></li>
  <li><a href="#profile">Profile</a></li>
  <li><a href="#messages">Messages</a></li>
  <li><a href="#settings">Settings</a></li>
</ul>

<div class="tab-content">
  <div class="tab-pane active" id="home">...</div>
  <div class="tab-pane" id="profile">...</div>
  <div class="tab-pane" id="messages">...</div>
  <div class="tab-pane" id="settings">...</div>
</div>

    $('#myTab a:last').tab('show');
  })
</script>

Events

$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown', function (e) {
  e.target // activated tab
  e.relatedTarget // previous tab
})
