Question

I am trying to apply the following jQuery click function but for some reason I can’t seem to get the selector right, i.e.:

$("ul.menu li a").click(function(){
   $("ul.menu li").find("a").removeAttr("id");
   $(this).attr("id" , "current" );
});

This is my HTML code I am trying to apply it to, i,e,:

        <div id="sidebar">
            <ul class="menu noaccordion">
                <li>
                    <a href="#" id="current" class="topm">Home</a>
                </li>
                <li>
                    <a href="#" class="topm">About Us</a>
                </li>

My aim is to try and set the current menu selected using the id=current.

Answer 1

How about this?

$("ul.menu li a").click(function(){
   $(".topm").attr('id', '');
   $(this).attr("id" , "current" );
});
