Bootstrap 3 jquery event for active tab change
$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
var target = $(e.target).attr("href") // activated tab
alert(target);
});

<ul id="myTab" class="nav nav-tabs">
<li class="active"><a href="#home" data-toggle="tab">Home</a></li>
<li class=""><a href="#profile" data-toggle="tab">Profile</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="myTabContent" class="tab-content">
<div class="tab-pane fade active in" id="home">
home tab!
</div>
<div class="tab-pane fade" id="profile">
profile tab!
</div>
</div>
$(function () {
$('#myTab a:last').tab('show');
});
$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
var target = $(e.target).attr("href");
if ((target == '#messages')) {
alert('ok');
} else {
alert('not ok');
}
});
the problem is that attr('href') is never empty.
Or to compare the #id = "#some value" and then call the ajax.
