In my code below, i’m doing menus.

What I’m trying to do is, when a user clicks a menu item, that menu items class need to get changed to ‘current’ and the menu item with ‘current’ need to get changed to ‘menu’.

But I just cannot get things to work.

Ok… current gets changed to menu. i can tell by the color. But when I click the one that was changed from ‘current’ to ‘menu’, the alert wont appear.

Also, how do i set the menu class to current based on the data-feed name that was clicked? Can you see how this can be done?

        $(".menunavi .current").addClass("menu");
//Set the span with class="menu" to class="current" were data-feed = 'whatever was clicked'

    $('.menu,.current').click(function(){
   $(this).siblings().removeClass('current').addClass('menu');
   $(this).removeClass('menu').addClass('current');    
});​
