Question

How can I have the active link highlighted when clicked but keep the home page link highlighted until another link is clicked?

I’m using PHP if that helps.

Here is my (x)HTML code.

<div id="nav">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="http://localhost/link-1/" class="active">Link 1</a></li>
        <li><a href="http://localhost/link-2/">Link 2</a></li>
        <li><a href="http://localhost/link-3/">Link 3</a></li>
        <li><a href="http://localhost/link-4/">Link 4</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

I’m not in the spot to be able to test this right now, let me know if it work for you though.

var menuArray = new Array();

$(function() {


    $('div#nav ul li').each(function(i) {
        menuArray[i] = this;
        $(this).click(function() {
            for (var x in menuArray)
                if (x == this)
                    $(x).attr('class','active');
                else
                    $(x).attr('class','inactive');
        });
    });
});

EDIT alright, I was able to test this and it’s working for me. Keep in mind that this needs to be after your HTML declaration.

$("li a").each(function(i) {
        $(this).click(function() {
             $(this).attr('class','selected');
             $("li a").not(this).attr('class','notselected');
        });
});
