You need insert my html example. And all you need add your id to container of tabs.

Html

<!-- Simple tabs -->
<div id="some-id">
    <!-- Simple tabs buttons -->
    <ul>
        <li><a>Tab 1</a></li>
        <li><a>Tab 2</a></li>
        <li><a>Tab 3</a></li>
    </ul>   
    <!-- /Simple tabs buttons -->
    <!-- Simple tabs contents -->
    <div class="tabs_contents">
        <!-- Simple tabs content item -->
        <div>
            <p>
                Tab content
            </p>
        </div>
        <!-- /Simple tabs content item -->
        <!-- Simple tabs content item -->
        <div>
            <p>
                Tab content
            </p>
        </div>
        <!-- /Simple tabs content item -->
        <!-- Simple tabs content item -->
        <div>
            <p>
                Tab content
            </p>
        </div>
        <!-- /Simple tabs content item -->
    </div>
    <!-- Simple tabs contents -->
</div>
<!-- /Simple tabs -->

3.Call the plugin

Now call the SimpleTabs initializer function, and your tabs are ready.

JavaScript

$("#some-id").SimpleTabs();

Or you can set call initializer function to ID container. And you can use tabs options to initializations tabs.

Example a call to initializations of tabs with all options:

JavaScript

$('.some-class').SimpleTabs({
  start: 1,
  vertical: true,
  mainClass: "simple_tabs",
  verticalClass: "simple_tabs_vertical",
  horizontalClass: "simple_tabs_horizontal",
  tabIdSuffix: "-tab-",
  tabActiveClass: "active",
  ajaxMessageError: "Sorry! No data to load :(",
  buttons: {
      containerElement: "ul",
      containerClass: "tabs_buttons",
      itemElement: "li",
      itemClass: "tab_button_wrapper",
      linkElement: "a",
      linkClass: "tab_button"
  },
  content: {
      containerClass: "tabs_contents",
      itemElement: "div",
      itemClass: "tab_content"
  },
  callbacks: {
    callBeforeChange: function() {alert('alert text');},
    callAfterChange: function() {alert('alert text');}
  }
});

4.Options list

Main options

Buttons options

Content options

Callbacks options

Example, how to use callbacks:

JavaScript

$(".some-class").SimpleTabs({
  callbacks: {
      callBeforeChange: function() {alert('alert text');},
      callAfterChange: function() {alert('alert text');}
  }
});

5.Use Ajax

To use this function, You need add the data-ajax attribute with link to data in tag for links of tabs.

Example how to use ajax loading for data:

Html

<!-- Simple tabs -->
<div class="some-class">
    <!-- Simple tabs buttons -->
    <ul>
        <li><a data-ajax="your path to data/1.html">Tab 1</a></li>
        <li><a data-ajax="your path to data/2.html">Tab 2</a></li>
        <li><a data-ajax="your path to data/3.html">Tab 3</a></li>
    </ul>
    <!-- /Simple tabs buttons -->
    <!-- Simple tabs contents -->
    <div class="tabs_contents">
    </div>
    <!-- Simple tabs contents -->
</div>
<!-- /Simple tabs -->

JavaScript

$(".some-class").SimpleTabs();

Notes

One interesting moment about my tabs. You can insert any content, in button of tab, or content item of tab. You can create your own stylesheets for it. Special for you, I inserted to project scss files that you can use to create your own themes for SimpleTabs.
