Bootstrap load AJAX content in Inactive Tab - ajax

Question

I'm building a site utilising Bootstrap tabs and AJAX. I've set it up so that when a link with the class of .load is clicked the content of that html document is loaded into the active tab, in this case #tab2.
This is done using the following:
$(function(){
$("#tab2").delegate('.load', 'click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#tab2").load($(this).attr("href"));
});
});
I also need some links in #tab2, those with the class of .load-tab1 to load content into #tab1, which I have achieved with the following code.
$(function(){
$("#tab2").delegate('.load-tab1', 'click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#tab1").load($(this).attr("href"));
});
});
The problem is I can't work out how to make it so that when .load-tab1 links are clicked the active tab is also switched from #tab2 to #tab1.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
UPDATE:
I was able to get it working with the following code but still thinking there is a better solution.
$(function(){
$("#tab2").delegate('.load-tab1', 'click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#tab1").load($(this).attr("href"));
$(".tab2").removeClass("active");
$(".tab1").addClass("active");
$(".tab-content #tab2").removeClass("active");
$(".tab-content #tab1").addClass("active");
});
});

You should select the tab in the .load() callback:
$(function(){
$("#tab2").delegate('.load-tab1', 'click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#tab1").load($(this).attr("href"), function(response, status, xhr){
$( theFirstTabAnchorSelector ).tab('show');
});
});
});
