Question

I have a navigation menu and when ‘contact is clicked’ a div opens at the top of the DOM, I want to add an active state to contact using jQuery but for some reason cant get it working.

I’vbe made a fiddle to hopefully explain better…

Answer 1

You are not closing your click handler. Try:

$(document).ready(function() {
    // Append class to contact
    $('.contact').click(function() {
        $("li a").removeClass("static");
        $(this).addClass("static");
    });
});​

Your updated fiddle.

P.S. Hitting the “JSLint” button would have helped you to identify the problem.
