Question

I’m trying to add to my selected li the proper class if the li’s selected html text match with the retrived url substring. To give an example
I have the following list

<ul>
 <li><a href="">test</a></li>
 <li><a href="">test2</a></li>
 <li><a href="">test3</a></li>
</ul>

If I click on test2 than a get parameter going to be passed and my url would look as it follows

localhost/page/test2

and after the second li should get selected class.
What I tried but it’s not working http://jsfiddle.net/lgtsfiddler/ZjNsv/3/

You need to check each link in the UL against the variable you’re looking for:

$("#tier_0").find("a").each(function() {

    if ($(this).text().match(variables[1])) {
        $(this).parent().addClass('selected');
    }

});

Here’s a working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ZjNsv/8/
