Hi. First time posting here.

I am trying to replicate holding shift + click to select multiple
links. I have the shift/click working but have no clue how to go about
say, clicking on the 1st link, then holding the shift key, eventually
clicking the 5th link, would add a class to highlight links from 1-5.

Here is what I have:

var shiftPressed = event.shiftKey;

if ((shiftPressed || $(this)) == true) {
/* I assume this is where the action to add the class for particular
links would go */
}

Hope you guys understood.

Thanks in advance.
