Tabs do not load the content in their tab-panes

Question

I'm trying to make a bootstrap site with nav-tabs navigation. I cant seem to figured out why my tabs do not load the content in its tab-pane. I can get it to work in a tutorial but on on my project. Any help would be appreciated. I just wanted the tabbed content to appear when i click its link. Currently its staying on the first tab and it doesn't move. thank you!

This is the code provided by Boostrap on their Documentation, in your code I can see that there is far less attributes on the structure, probably the lack of one is messing with the functioning.

Data-toggle and role are the more likely ones.

Good luck. ;)

 <ul class="nav nav-tabs" role="tablist">
    <li role="presentation" class="active"><a href="#home" aria-controls="home" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Home</a></li>
    <li role="presentation"><a href="#profile" aria-controls="profile" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Profile</a></li>
    <li role="presentation"><a href="#messages" aria-controls="messages" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Messages</a></li>
    <li role="presentation"><a href="#settings" aria-controls="settings" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">Settings</a></li>
  </ul>

  <!-- Tab panes -->
  <div class="tab-content">
    <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane active" id="home">...</div>
    <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane" id="profile">...</div>
    <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane" id="messages">...</div>
    <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane" id="settings">...</div>
  </div>
