jQuery, is there a way to set anchor in URL after form submitting?

Question

For example, I have tabulators (bootstrap, tabpanel) which changes the url, adding #tab1, #tab2, ... as Im clicking on them. Lets say I do a submit from #tab1, and want to jump to #tab2, how to do that? All I have is:

.
.
.
$(formObj).submit();
return false;

the action of form is empty (<form method="post">)

You could use the .tab("show") function, as specified in the Bootstrap documentation, to show the tab that you want after the form submission.

For example, if your form is in #tab1 and you want to move to #tab2 after the form is submitted, you could do it like this (change #myTabs for the id of the tab list that you are using):

$(formObj).submit();
$('#myTabs a[href="#tab2"]').tab('show')
return false;
