Question

I’m trying to highlight the parent li element if a link is found either in one of the main li elements, or one of the nested lists for a header I’m working on. I feel like the JS should work, but it doesn’t. Any pointing in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Is this what you are looking for?

    $('.submenu-link').hover (function (e) {
        $(this).parent().parent().children('a').css('backgroundColor', 'red');
    }, function (e) {
        $(this).parent().parent().children('a').css('backgroundColor', 'white');
    });
