[jQuery] Re: Deactivating parent link with JQuery
You're a dude, thank you.
I agree that it would be better server-side, but it would involve
hacking the core and I'm against that kind of thing, particularly for
something that is purely to satisfy a designer's poncy preference.
Thanks for your help.

[jQuery] Re: Deactivating parent link with JQuery
oh I see, this would be better done with some server side code but this
is how you could do that.
Similar code, just checking for a class.
$("li a.nav-selected").each(function(){
$(this).parents("ul").parents("li").children("a").addClass("nav-selected");
});

It all works fine, except for this bit
$("li ul").siblings("a").click(function(){

});
there are no a tag siblings of the UL, so that will not work.
I've just tested it, and when I click on a subnav link, the class is

$("li a").click(function(){

Link 3c
Link 4
When you say "remove the link", I assume you want to turn this:
Link 3
into this:
Link 3
Given that, try this jQuery:
$("li ul").siblings("a").each(function(){
$(this).replaceWith($(this).html());
});
[jQuery] Re: Deactivating parent link with JQuery
Thanks Liam, but that's not working...
Not sure why .click is in your example? Am I right in thinking by
adding .parents to the end of each tag in your example that you're
'going down' different levels in the unordered list?
This is what I have:
$("li a").click(function(){
$(this).parents("ul").parents("li").addClass("nav-selected");
});
Any ideas what's going wrong?

Yes, I meant an unordered list as you showed.
Rather than remove the tag, is it possible to just 'deactivate'

[jQuery] Re: Deactivating parent link with JQuery
rather than removing the href you could use the preventDefault
function, which will leave the href intact should you want to unbind
it at a later date.
usage is something like..
$('a.submit-button').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
doSubmit( $(this).html() );
})

[jQuery] Re: Deactivating parent link with JQuery
Ok, I have another question that's related to the first.
I need to highlight *only* the top-parent item (the same one I just
ran 'return false;' on) with the class 'nav-selected'.
This is the code that's being generated by the CMS I'm working with
when I click on Link 3a:
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
Link 3a
Link 3b
Link 3c
Link 4
I've got this:
if($("#nav li:first").hasClass("nav-path-selected").siblings("a"))
// Add nav-selected class to parent li with children
$(".nav-path-selected").addClass("nav-selected");
};
But it's not working for me. I'm *only* trying to affect the parent
of the list that has a child active in it.
Do you know how I can do that? Thanks for all your help so far, really
is appreciated.

[jQuery] Re: Deactivating parent link with JQuery
In that case, you can just remove the href attribute of the link(s):
$("li ul").siblings("a").removeAttr("href");
or, if you want to leave in the href attribute for future use?, you
can do this:
$("li ul").siblings("a").click(function(){
return false;
});
good luck-
[jQuery] Re: Deactivating parent link with JQuery
Thanks Andi,
Yes, I meant an unordered list as you showed.
Rather than remove the tag, is it possible to just 'deactivate'
it? i.e. when you click it, nothing happens, but the tag stays in
place?
I ask, because I'd like to keep the CSS as simple as possible.
Thanks,

First of all, let's clarify the actual HTML. I assume this is what
you have:
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
Link 3a
Link 3b
Link 3c
Link 4
When you say "remove the link", I assume you want to turn this:
Link 3
into this:
Link 3
Given that, try this jQuery:
$("li ul").siblings("a").each(function(){
$(this).replaceWith($(this).html());
});
