I am trying to implement Twitter Bootstrap tabs in the following code, but it does not seem to work. The tabs get displayed, but when I click on them nothing happens. Below is the only code I am using. All the other CSS/JS scripts are copied from Twitter Bootstrap framework.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- Le styles -->
<link href="assets/twitterbootstrap/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="assets/twitterbootstrap/css/bootstrap-responsive.css" rel="stylesheet">

</head>

<body data-spy="scroll" data-target=".subnav" data-offset="50">

<div class="container">

<!-------->
<div id="content">
    <ul class="nav nav-tabs" data-tabs="tabs">
        <li class="active"><a href="#red">Red</a></li>
        <li><a href="#orange">Orange</a></li>
        <li><a href="#yellow">Yellow</a></li>
        <li><a href="#green">Green</a></li>
        <li><a href="#blue">Blue</a></li>
    </ul>
    <div id="my-tab-content" class="tab-content">
        <div class="tab-pane active" id="red">
            <h1>Red</h1>
            <p>red red red red red red</p>
        </div>
        <div class="tab-pane" id="orange">
            <h1>Orange</h1>
            <p>orange orange orange orange orange</p>
        </div>
        <div class="tab-pane" id="yellow">
            <h1>Yellow</h1>
            <p>yellow yellow yellow yellow yellow</p>
        </div>
        <div class="tab-pane" id="green">
            <h1>Green</h1>
            <p>green green green green green</p>
        </div>
        <div class="tab-pane" id="blue">

            <p>blue blue blue blue blue</p>

    You need to add tabs plugin to your code

    <script type="text/javascript" src="assets/twitterbootstrap/js/bootstrap-tab.js"></script>

    Well, it didn’t work. I made some tests and it started working when:

    1. moved (updated to 1.7) jQuery script to <head> section
    2. added data-toggle="tab" to links and id for <ul> tab element
    3. changed $(".tabs").tabs(); to $("#tabs").tab();
    4. and some other things that shouldn’t matter

    Here’s a code

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- Le styles -->
<link href="../bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.js"></script>
</head>

<body>

<div class="container">

<!-------->
<div id="content">
    <ul id="tabs" class="nav nav-tabs" data-tabs="tabs">
        <li class="active"><a href="#red" data-toggle="tab">Red</a></li>
        <li><a href="#orange" data-toggle="tab">Orange</a></li>
        <li><a href="#yellow" data-toggle="tab">Yellow</a></li>
        <li><a href="#green" data-toggle="tab">Green</a></li>
        <li><a href="#blue" data-toggle="tab">Blue</a></li>
    </ul>
    <div id="my-tab-content" class="tab-content">
        <div class="tab-pane active" id="red">
            <h1>Red</h1>
            <p>red red red red red red</p>
        </div>
        <div class="tab-pane" id="orange">
            <h1>Orange</h1>
            <p>orange orange orange orange orange</p>
        </div>
        <div class="tab-pane" id="yellow">
            <h1>Yellow</h1>
            <p>yellow yellow yellow yellow yellow</p>
        </div>
        <div class="tab-pane" id="green">
            <h1>Green</h1>
            <p>green green green green green</p>
        </div>
        <div class="tab-pane" id="blue">
            <h1>Blue</h1>
            <p>blue blue blue blue blue</p>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>


<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
        $('#tabs').tab();
    });
</script>    
</div> <!-- container -->


<script type="text/javascript" src="../bootstrap/js/bootstrap.js"></script>
