Question

I am having lengthy structure of bootstrap theme classes.

This is menu i am designing.

Have this code for this menu bar design in bootstrap-

   <div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top navbar-inverse">
            <div class="navbar-inner">
                <div class="container-fluid">
                    <a class="btn btn-navbar" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".nav-collapse"><span
                        class="icon-bar"></span><span class="icon-bar"></span><span class="icon-bar"></span>
                    </a><a class="brand" href="#">My Menu</a>
                    <div class="nav-collapse">
                        <ul class="nav">
                            <li class="active"><a  href="/Home/Dashboard"><i class="icon-home icon-white"></i>Dashboard</a></li>
                            <li ><a href="#" id="taskMainLink">Task</a></li>

                            <li><a href="#" id="contactMainLink">Contact</a></li>

                            <li><a href="#" id="appointmentMainLink">Appointment</a></li>

                            <li><a href="#" id="projectMainLink">Project</a></li>

                            <li><a href="#" id="salesMainLink">Sales</a></li>

                        </ul>

Now Issue

I want each tab to be active on mouseclick and other tabs should be in original state.
Current active class is dashboard by default i did.

Structure i am following for each time i click on any tab-

$('.navbar.navbar-fixed-top.navbar-inverse>.container-fluid>.nav-collapse>.nav').click(function(){
$(this).find('li').removeClass('active');
$(this).addClass('active');
});

Am i going right class into class? Please suggest me right solution if i am wrong here.

Try this:

$('ul.nav li a').click(function(){
    $(this).parent().parent().children('.active').removeClass('active');
    $(this.parentNode).addClass('active');
    return false;
});
