Question

I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to properly select a class inside the menu.

It worked fine until I put the menu in a ul. Can anyone tell me what is going on and how to fix it?

Answer 1

Sure. The problem is that you’re calling index on the link, which is a child of the li, and so will always only be the first child. You want the index of its parent instead.
