                content: '',                        //content html, the url value is useless if set the content.
                url : ''                            //URL
            },

            {    /** more tabs**/    },             //add more page.
        ],       
        nav : {
            backgroundColor : '#f5f5f5',            //default nav-bar background color
            class : '',                             //class of nav
            draggable : true,                       //nav tab draggable option
            fixed : false,                          //fixed the nav-bar
            layout : 'default',                     //it can be 'default', 'classic' (all hidden tab in dropdown list), and simple
            maxTabs : 15,                           //Max tabs number (without counting main tab), when is 1, hide the whole nav
            maxTitleLength : 25,                    //Max title length of tab
            showCloseOnHover : true,                //while is true, show close button in hover, if false, show close button always
            style : 'nav-tabs',                     //can be nav-tabs or nav-pills
        },
        content : {
            ajax : {
                class : '',                         //Class for ajax tab-pane
                error : function (htmlCallBack) {
                    //modify html and return
                    return htmlCallBack;
                },
                success : function (htmlCallBack) {
                    //modify html and return
                    return htmlCallBack;
                }
            },
            iframe : {
                class : ''                          //Class for iframe tab-pane 
            }
        },
        language : {                                //language setting
            nav : {
                title : 'Tab',                                  //default tab's tittle
                dropdown : '<i class="fa fa-bars"></i>',        //right tools dropdown name
                showActivedTab : 'Show Activated Tab',          //show active tab
                closeAllTabs : 'Close All Tabs',                //close all tabs
                closeOtherTabs : 'Close Other Tabs',            //close other tabs
            }
        }
    });
</script>

Attention for iframe

1. For iframe's auto-height, please add CSS as blew to your page. .content-wrapper is the selector using multitabs. .wrapper is parent of .content-wrapper , all parent of wrapper multitabs must add height: 100%

<style type="text/css">
    body,
    body.full-height-layout .wrapper,
    html{
        height: 100%;
    }
    body.full-height-layout .content-wrapper{           /*the wrrapper using multitabs*/
        height: calc(100% - 140px)                      /*Excluding header and footer's height, for AdminLTE, total is 140px*/
    }
</style>

2. create tab with iframe's object:

<scritp>
    parent.$(parent.document).data('multitabs').create({
        iframe : true,                                //iframe mode, default is false. While false, is the auto mode (for the self page, use ajax, and the external, use iframe)
        title : 'open by iframe',                     //title of tab, if empty, show the URL
        url : 'pages/index-2.html'                    //URL, if it's external link, content type change to 'info'
    }, true);                                         //true for active tab
</script>
