Hello again, I have written a simple menu in the most basic way i could: just an unordered list, with only the active tab getting a class="active".
I am adding the correct styles to the first and last tabs with the :first and :last selector. Works just fine. The last thing i need is to be able to identify the tab that comes before the active tab, if any. I have tried the axis selector for the preceding sibling shown in the doc : $("//div ~ form") However, that syntax is a bit foreign to me, and it unsurprisingly did not work when i adpated it like this : $("//ul#menu li ~ .actif").addClass("preactif"); (To be more precise, i want to select the "ul#menu li" that comes right before the "ul#menu li.actif"). I have tried various combinations, but to no avail. Help most welcome as always.
