Bootstrap shown.bs.tab event not working
Bootstrap tab events are based off the .nav-tabs elements, not the .tab-content elements. So in order to tap into the show event, you need the element with an href that is pointed towards #tab1, not the #tab1 content element itself.
So instead of this:
$('#tab1').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
console.log("tab1");
});
Do this instead:
$('[href=#tab1]').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
console.log("tab1");
});
Or, to capture all of them, just do this:
$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
console.log(e.target.href);
})

$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
console.log(e.target.href);

<div role="tabpanel">
<ul class="nav nav-tabs" role="tablist">
<li class="active"><a id="tab1" href="#chart1" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Tab 1</a></li>
<li><a id="tab2" href="#chart2" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Tab 2</a></li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content">
<div class="tab-pane active" id="chart1">Tab 1 Content</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="chart2">Tabe 2 Content</div>
</div>
</div>If the Tab is dynamic in anyway try using
$(document).on('shown.bs.tab', 'a[data-toggle="tab"]', function (e) {
alert(e.target.href);
})
