Hi Michael,
Try this. It uses the index of the <a> within the <div> and then
removes the class from all <a> elements equal or greater than it.
The code is a bit cumbersome but I think it works.
<div id="links">
<a href="#" class="star_selected">lorem ipsum</a>
<a href="#" class="star_selected">lorem ipsum</a>
<a href="#" class="star_selected">lorem ipsum</a>
<a href="#" class="star_selected">lorem ipsum</a>
<a href="#" class="star_selected">lorem ipsum</a>
</div>
$('#links a').click(function(){
$('a:gt('+($("#links a').index(this)-1)+')').removeClass
('star_selected');
return false;
});
