Hello,
You could create a function which removes the 'current' class from all
li elements in the menu then adds it to all li elements that are
parents of the link that has been clicked. Call this function from
within a link's click handler and be sure to add 'return false;' as
the last line of that event handler if you don't want the link to be
followed (it sounds like this is what you require). Something like
this (very rushed and untested):
/* change which elements have the 'current' class... */
function updatePathClass(clickedLink) {
$('#nav li.current').removeClass('current');
$(clickedLink).parents('li').addClass('current');
}
/* call that from within the links' click event handler... */
$('#nav a').bind('click',function(){
updatePathClass(this);
/* code for other click actions here */
return false;
});
Hope this helps.
Joel Birch.
