Topic: JS to open a tab not working
Expected behavior I use this code :
const triggerEl = document.querySelector('#in-the-news');
mdb.Tab.getInstance(triggerEl).show(); // Select tab by name
to open a tab
Actual behavior
Console Log Error
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'show')
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)
if i add
console.log(triggerEl)
i get
(index):962 div#in-the-news.tab-pane.fade
After all this time, I am still having problems with getInstance. I found another solution.
new mdb.Tab(document.getElementById('in-the-news')).show()
Hi,
Here is the snippet https://mdbootstrap.com/snippets/standard/d-wajszczuk/3561424#js-tab-view. Everything works fine. You probably use wrong selector or maybe your tabs are hidden during the page load and they need to be initialized manually.
Keep coding,
Dawid
