Hey Jacques,
Here's how you make a regexp that looks for "BlogRetrieve.aspx" in a string
: /BlogRetrieve.aspx/ or new RegExp('BlogRetrieve.aspx')
Now here's how you check wether a string matches with a regexp : "blah blah
blah".match(/blah/)
Here's a good site to learn about regexp (which are very popular amongst
developers on many languages for some reason), there's a part about
JavaScript :
http://www.regular-expressions.info/
I hope it helps you to learn, I'll let you putting the pieces together
(which basically means writing an if using the regexp to condition execution
of .addClass() ).
