Link Dropdown Menu With Tabs In Bootstrap

i'm having a problem linking my dropdown menu with tabs. What i'd like is for the relevant tab to toggle to be 'active' in addition to the content (the class is called 'active') w

Solution 1:

The element which can be tabbed is the a (anchor) not the content. So click a link in your dropdown should active the tab() on a anchor of your tabbar:

  $('#treatment_dropdown a').click(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault()        
    $($(this).attr('href')+'_tt').tab('show')
  })
