Sorry: i posted this in the main mailinglist: it occurs to me the dev list might be more suited. Can you confirm this is a 1.2.6 bug fixed in 1.3 beta 2? This is just so that i can tick this in my own app's bugs list. Thank you Alexandre

Out of ideas, i tried using the freshly released jquery 1.3 beta 2 and it turns out the engine now works as i expected! here is the incriminated code: var $thisLI = $('#' + UI.section); if ($thisLI.length > 0) { var $thisMenu = $thisLI.parent(); var $thisA = $('a:first', $thisLI); $('a.selected', $thisMenu).removeClass ('selected'); $thisA.addClass('selected'); var liIndex = $thisMenu.children('li').index ($thisLI[0]); var newleft = 0 - (strataGrid.colWidth * (liIndex + 1)); $thisLI.siblings().removeClass ('selected').addClass('notSelected'); $thisMenu.animate({ left: newleft }, 'slow', function() { // this takes care of show/hiding menus and submenus $thisA.parents('li').removeClass ('notSelected').addClass('selected'); }); } I think the culprit is $thisLI.siblings().removeClass('selected').addClass('notSelected'); as the modified DOM shows the "selected" class also in children LI's inside that UL branch, you can view it live here: (click on "news") http://www.pixeline.be/test/metalab/prototype/ and working correctly http://www.pixeline.be/test/metalab/prototype/index_1.6b2.htm --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
