Putting Two Actions on one link using the Zend Framework - php

Question

I'm new to the Zend framework and am trying to prevent my application from loading all of the necessary data at once and to wait until a button press. However, I want to be able to toggle between the pages instead of loading a new page. For instance, right now I have
<li>Families</li
This will toggle to the proper page and show the heading that I want it to. However, it will not get the data. I added a second button
<li>Families</li>
This button gets the data, but it redirects to the index tab, not to the #families tab. So I get the proper behavior if I click the second button (which get's the data), then the first button (which moves to the proper tab). How can I combine these into one?

I think you want to doing something like this ?
https://jsfiddle.net/mmfansler/2eTSL/
<ul class="nav nav-tabs tabs-up" id="friends">
<li> Contacts </li>
<li> Friends list</li>
<li>Awaiting request</li>
</ul>
<div class="tab-content">
<div class="tab-pane active" id="contacts">
</div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="friends_list">
</div>
<div class="tab-pane urlbox span8" id="awaiting_request">
</div>
</div>
With Javascript :
$('[data-toggle="tabajax"]').click(function(e) {
var $this = $(this),
loadurl = $this.attr('href'),
targ = $this.attr('data-target');
$.get(loadurl, function(data) {
$(targ).html(data);
});
$this.tab('show');
return false;
});
