bootstrap open tab from link

Question

Javascript / jQuery newbie here. This question has been asked numerous times before but I am not able to implement any of the solutions and make them work on my single-page website. My code below. So far, I have tried variations of the following (without success):

• Linking to specific twitter bootstrap tabs from URL on same page
• Jump to specific tab from another tab with Bootstrap's nav-tabs
• Any way to get BootStrap tabs to be activated via the URL?
• Twitter Bootstrap Tabs: Go to Specific Tab on Page Reload or Hyperlink
• show tab with external link with onclick in bootstrap 3
• how to link twitter bootstrap tabs from hyper link on otherpages
• Bootstrap linking to a tab with an url
• Externally Linking to a Tab, Tab not changing, Bootstrap 3.3.5
• Go to Specific Tab on different Page link click and toggle active class

Below is the closest I have got to a solution. What am I missing?

$(document).load(function() {
  $('#section-A a').click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $('a[href="' + $(this).attr('href') + '"]').tab('show');
  })
});

Replace $(document).load to $(document).ready

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#section-A a').click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $('a[href="' + $(this).attr('href') + '"]').tab('show');
  })
});
