Navs
Bootstrap Navs
Note: We are transitioning MDB4 to a legacy version and focusing on developing MDB5.
While we'll continue to support for the transition period, we encourage you to migrate to
MDB5. We're offering a huge discount on MDB5 PRO to help with your transition,
enabling you to leverage the full potential of the latest version. You can find more information here.

Documentation and examples for how to use Bootstrap’s included navigation components.
Available styles
You can change the style of.nav's component with modifiers and utilities. Just mix and match as needed, or build your
own.
Horizontal alignment
You may change the horizontal alignment of your nav with flexbox utilities. By default, navs are left-aligned, but you can easily change them to center or right aligned.
Centered with .justify-content-center:
<ul class="nav justify-content-center grey lighten-4 py-4">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#!">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#!">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
Right-aligned with .justify-content-end:
<ul class="nav justify-content-end grey lighten-4 py-4">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#!">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#!">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
Vertical
Stack your navigation by changing the flex item direction with the .flex-column
utility. Need
to stack them on some viewports but not others? Use the responsive versions (e.g., .flex-sm-column ).
<ul class="nav flex-column grey lighten-4 py-4">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#!">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#!">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
As always, vertical navigation is possible without <ul>s, too.
<nav class="nav flex-column blue lighten-5 py-4">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>

Tabs
Takes the basic nav from above and adds the .nav-tabs class to generate a tabbed interface.
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
MDB Tabs MDB Pro component
Check our documentation about tabs.
<ul class="nav md-tabs light-blue lighten-1 mx-0 mb-0 mt-1">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#!">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link 1</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link 2</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link 3</a>
</li>
</ul>
Pills
Take that same HTML, but use .nav-pills instead:
<ul class="nav nav-pills">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
MDB Pills MDB Pro component
Check our documentation about pills.
<ul class="nav md-pills pills-unique">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#!">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link 1</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link 2</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link 3</a>
</li>
</ul>
Fill and justify
Force your .nav’s contents to extend the full available width one of two modifier classes. On order to
proportionately
fill all available space with your .nav-items, use .nav-fill. Notice that all
horizontal space is occupied, but
not every nav item has the same width.
<ul class="nav nav-pills nav-fill">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Longer nav link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
When using a <nav> -based navigation, be sure to include .nav-item on the
anchors.
<nav class="nav nav-pills nav-fill">
<a class="nav-item nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
<a class="nav-item nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
<a class="nav-item nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
<a class="nav-item nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
</nav>
For equal-width elements, use .nav-justified. All horizontal space will be occupied by nav links, but
unlike the
.nav-fill above, every nav item will be the same width.
<nav class="nav nav-pills nav-justified">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Longer nav link</a>
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
</nav>
Similar to the .nav-fill example using a <nav>-based navigation, be sure to include
.nav-item
on the anchors.
<nav class="nav nav-pills nav-justified">
<a class="nav-item nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
<a class="nav-item nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
<a class="nav-item nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
<a class="nav-item nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
</nav>

<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link 2</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link 3</a>
</li>
</ul>
Working with flex utilities
If you need responsive nav variations, consider using a series of flexbox utilities. While more verbose, these utilities offer greater customization across responsive breakpoints. In the example below, our nav will be stacked on the lowest breakpoint, then adapt to a horizontal layout that fills the available width starting from the small breakpoint.
<nav class="nav nav-pills flex-column flex-sm-row">
<a class="flex-sm-fill text-sm-center nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
<a class="flex-sm-fill text-sm-center nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
<a class="flex-sm-fill text-sm-center nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
<a class="flex-sm-fill text-sm-center nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
</nav>
Regarding accessibility
If you’re using navs to provide a navigation bar, be sure to add a role="navigation" to the most
logical parent
container of the <ul>, or wrap a <nav> element around the whole navigation.
Do not add the role to the <ul>
itself, as this would prevent it from being announced as an actual list by assistive technologies.
Note that navigation bars, even if visually styled as tabs with the .nav-tabs class, should not be
given
role="tablist", role="tab" or role="tabpanel" attributes. These are only
appropriate for dynamic tabbed
interfaces, as described in the WAI ARIA Authoring
Practices . See JavaScript behavior for dynamic tabbed
interfaces in this section for an example.
Using dropdowns
Tabs with dropdowns
Add dropdown menus with a little extra HTML and the dropdowns JavaScript plugin.
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#" role="button" aria-haspopup="true"
aria-expanded="false">Dropdown</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
<div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a>
</div>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
MDB Tabs with dropdownMDB Pro component
<ul id="no-waves" class="nav md-tabs pink lighten-1 mx-0 mb-0 mt-1">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>

</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link 2</a>
</li>
</ul>
.md-tabs .nav-item.show .nav-link {
background-color: transparent;
color: #fff;
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#no-waves .dropdown').removeClass('waves-effect');
});
Pills with dropdowns
<ul class="nav nav-pills">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" href="#">Active</a>

<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#" role="button" aria-haspopup="true"

</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Link</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Disabled</a>
</li>
</ul>
MDB Pills with dropdown MDB Pro component
<ul class="nav md-pills nav-justified pills-danger">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active " href="#">Active</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#" role="button" aria-haspopup="true"
aria-expanded="false">Dropdown</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu">

<div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Separated link</a>
</div>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link 1</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#!">Link 2</a>
</li>
</ul>
JavaScript behavior
Use the tab JavaScript plugin — you may include it individually or through the compiled bootstrap.js file — to
extend our
navigational tabs and pills to create tabbable panes of local content, even via dropdown menus.
Dynamic tabbed interfaces, as described in the WAI
ARIA Authoring Practices, require role="tablist", role="tab" or role="tabpanel",
and additional aria- attributes in order to convey their structure, functionality and current
state to users of assistive technologies (such as screen readers).
Note that dynamic tabbed interfaces should not contain dropdown menus, as this causes both usability and accessibility issues. From a usability perspective, the fact that the currently displayed tab’s trigger element is not immediately visible (as it’s inside the closed dropdown menu) may cause confusion. From an accessibility point of view, there is currently no sensible way to map this sort of construct to a standard WAI ARIA pattern, meaning that it cannot be easily made understandable to users of assistive technologies.

<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab" role="tablist">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" id="home-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#home" role="tab" aria-controls="home"
aria-selected="true">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" id="profile-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#profile" role="tab" aria-controls="profile"

<div class="tab-pane fade" id="contact" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="contact-tab">...</div>
</div>
To help fit your needs, this works with <ul>-based markup, as shown above, or with any
arbitrary “roll your own”
markup. Note that if you’re using <nav>, you shouldn’t add role="tablist" directly
to it, as this would override
the element’s native role as a navigation landmark. Instead, switch to an alternative element (in the example
below, a simple <div>) and wrap the <div> around it.
<nav>
<div class="nav nav-tabs" id="nav-tab" role="tablist">
<a class="nav-item nav-link active" id="nav-home-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#nav-home" role="tab"
aria-controls="nav-home" aria-selected="true">Home</a>
<a class="nav-item nav-link" id="nav-profile-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#nav-profile" role="tab"
aria-controls="nav-profile" aria-selected="false">Profile</a>
<a class="nav-item nav-link" id="nav-contact-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#nav-contact" role="tab"
aria-controls="nav-contact" aria-selected="false">Contact</a>
</div>
</nav>
<div class="tab-content" id="nav-tabContent">
<div class="tab-pane fade show active" id="nav-home" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="nav-home-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane fade" id="nav-profile" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="nav-profile-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane fade" id="nav-contact" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="nav-contact-tab">...</div>
</div>
The tabs plugin also works with pills.

Using data attributes
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. You can use these data attributes on .nav-tabs or .nav-pills.
<!-- Nav tabs -->
<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab" role="tablist">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" id="home-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#home" role="tab" aria-controls="home"
aria-selected="true">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" id="profile-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#profile" role="tab" aria-controls="profile"
aria-selected="false">Profile</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" id="messages-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#messages" role="tab" aria-controls="messages"
aria-selected="false">Messages</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" id="settings-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#settings" role="tab" aria-controls="settings"
aria-selected="false">Settings</a>
</li>
</ul>
<!-- Tab panes -->
<div class="tab-content">
<div class="tab-pane active" id="home" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="home-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="profile" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="profile-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="messages" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="messages-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="settings" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="settings-tab">...</div>
</div>
Via JavaScript
Enable tabbable tabs via JavaScript (each tab needs to be activated individually):
$('#myTab a').on('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 li:first-child a').tab('show') // Select first tab
$('#myTab li:last-child a').tab('show') // Select last tab
$('#myTab li:nth-child(3) a').tab('show') // Select third tab
Fade effect
To make tabs fade in, add to each .tab-pane. The first tab pane
must also have .show to
make the initial content visible.
<div class="tab-content">
<div class="tab-pane fade show active" id="home" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="home-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane fade" id="profile" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="profile-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane fade" id="messages" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="messages-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane fade" id="settings" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="settings-tab">...</div>
</div>
Methods
Asynchronous methods and transitions
All API methods are asynchronous and start a transition. They return to the caller as soon as the transition is started but
before it ends. Note that, a method call on a transitioning component will be ignored.
$().tab
Activates a tab element and content container. The tab should have either a data-target
or an href
targeting a container node in the DOM.
<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab" role="tablist">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link active" id="home-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#home" role="tab" aria-controls="home"
aria-selected="true">Home</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" id="profile-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#profile" role="tab" aria-controls="profile"
aria-selected="false">Profile</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" id="messages-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#messages" role="tab" aria-controls="messages"
aria-selected="false">Messages</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" id="settings-tab" data-toggle="tab" href="#settings" role="tab" aria-controls="settings"
aria-selected="false">Settings</a>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content">
<div class="tab-pane active" id="home" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="home-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="profile" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="profile-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="messages" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="messages-tab">...</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="settings" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="settings-tab">...</div>
</div>
$(function () {
$('#myTab li:last-child a').tab('show')
})
.tab('show')
Selects the given tab and shows its associated pane. Any other tab that was previously
selected becomes unselected and its associated pane is hidden. It returns to the caller before the tab pane
has
actually been shown (i.e. before the shown.bs.tab event occurs).
$('#someTab').tab('show')
.tab('dispose')
Destroys an element’s tab..
$('#someTab').tab('show')
Events
When showing a new tab, the events fire in the following order:
hide.bs.tab(on the current active tab)show.bs.tab(on the to-be-shown tab)hidden.bs.tab(on the previous active tab, the same one as for thehide.bs.tabevent)shown.bs.tab(on the newly-active just-shown tab, the same one as for theshow.bs.tabevent)
If no tab was already active, then the hide.bs.tab and hidden.bs.tab events will not be
fired.
| Event Type | Description |
|---|---|
| show.bs.tab | This event fires on tab show, but before the new tab has been shown. Use event.target and
event.relatedTarget to target the active tab and the previous active tab (if available)
respectively. |
| shown.bs.tab | This event fires on tab show after a tab has been shown. Use event.target and event.relatedTarget
to target the active tab and the previous active tab (if available) respectively. |
| hide.bs.tab | This event fires when a new tab is to be shown (and thus the previous active tab is to be hidden). Use
event.target and event.relatedTarget to target the current active tab and the new
soon-to-be-active tab, respectively. |
| hidden.bs.tab | This event fires after a new tab is shown (and thus the previous active tab is hidden). Use event.target
and event.relatedTarget to target the previous active tab and the new active tab, respectively. |
$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
e.target // newly activated tab
e.relatedTarget // previous active tab
})
