Daemach2's solustion would do it, and if your <li> elements are nested
inside other <li> elements, you may wish to restrict the parents() method to
match only the first <li> up the tree by using
$(this).parents('li:first').addClass('on'); instead, that way you won't set
addClass('on') for more than one <li>
