The tabs work nicely when clicked but selecting the default tab on window load fails. The javascript runs, no errors, but nothing happens. Any ideas?

Reset to default 10Your selector is wrong, try it like this instead:
$(window).load(function(){
$('#tab a[href="#client_tab2"]').tab('show');
});

You can also set a default tab as active by just <li class="active"><a href="#whatever">....</a></li> and then on the appropriate tab have <div id="whatever" class="tab-pane active">..</div> and eliminate the need for more JS. have a look at this
