jQuery Plugin Initialization

Tabs are initialized automatically, but if you add tabs dynamically you will have to initialize them like this.

 $(document).ready(function(){
    $('ul.tabs').tabs();
 });

Swipeable Tabs

By setting the swipeable option to true, you can enable tabs where you can swipe on touch enabled devices to switch tabs. Make sure you keep the tab content divs in the same wrapping container.

Note : This is also touch compatible! Try swiping with your finger to scroll through the carousel.

<div class="row">
  <div class="col s12">
  
        <ul id="tabs_swipe" class="tabs">
            <li class="tab col"><a class="active" href="#html5">HTML5</a></li>
            <li class="tab col"><a href="#css3">CSS3</a></li>
            <li class="tab col"><a href="#md_css">Materialize CSS</a></li>
        </ul>
