No, not really! Say I'm on the page index.html, where I have this HTML: <div id="menu"> <a href="index.html">Frontpage</a> <a href="contact.html">Contact</a> </div>
Since I'm on the index.html-page, the first a-tag is "active" in CSS. I would like jQuery to give my the active a-tag in my menu-div. Hope you understand my problem now.
