I'm assuming you posted an example list and the real list does contain a
tags? I'm also assuming you are running that script with a document
ready handler?

Thanks Liam, but that's not working...
Not sure why .click is in your example? Am I right in thinking by
adding .parents to the end of each tag in your example that you're
'going down' different levels in the unordered list?
This is what I have:
$("li a").click(function(){
$(this).parents("ul").parents("li").addClass("nav-selected");
});
Any ideas what's going wrong?

Hi Ryan,
That only affects the child of theparent.
What I want to do is this:
<ul>
<li>Link 1</li>
<li>Link 2 *This is the link I want to add a class to*
<ul>
<li>Link 2a</li>
<li>Link 2b</li> *This is the active link*
<li>Link 2c</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Link 3</li>
</ul>
Rather than affecting a descendent/child of theparentlink, I need to
work on the *parentlink* under which the active link is found.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
osu

Thanks Ryan for the alternative,
However, I need to do the following now (see message above your last
post):
I need to highlight *only* the top-parentitem (the same one I just
ran 'return false;' on) with the class 'nav-selected'.
Any idea how I could do that?
Thanks,

rather than removing the href you could use the preventDefault
function, which will leave the href intact should you want to unbind
it at a later date.
usage is something like..
$('a.submit-button').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
doSubmit( $(this).html() );
})

Thanks Andi,
Yes, I meant an unordered list as you showed.
Rather than remove the <a> tag, is it possible to just 'deactivate'
it? i.e. when you click it, nothing happens, but the <a> tag stays in
place?
I ask, because I'd like to keep the CSS as simple as possible.
Thanks,
osu

First of all, let's clarify the actual HTML. I assume this is what
you have:
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 3</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Link 3a</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 3b</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 3c</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Link 4</a></li>
</ul>
When you say "remove the link", I assume you want to turn this:
<li><a href="#">Link 3</a>
into this:
<li>Link 3
Given that, try this jQuery:
$("li ul").siblings("a").each(function(){
$(this).replaceWith($(this).html());
});
