well, that is a snippet that needs to be adjusted to the menu classes in
your layout ....
the point more or less is: you have a "menu" that has no children....
changing the highlight on the clicked one leaves you nowhere, cause once a
link has been clicked you jump to the other page, so the second snippet is
the only one where the functionality actually works (i.e. applying a
different style on the page the user is in).
To do that, you must assign the class looking at where the page "stands",
that is location.pathname.
jQuery has a nice selector syntax where anything that is prefixed with $
means "that ends with this string".
So, assuming you are using the scaffolding app from trunk .....
<script>
jQuery(function() {
var path = location.pathname.substring(1);
if ( path ) jQuery('ul.nav a[href$="'+path+'"]').closest('li').addClass(
'highlight');
})
</script>
works
The broken-down functionality is:
- path is the current url
- please, find all A elements within the <ul class="nav"> ( *jQuery(ul.nav
a)*)
- filter this set searching for the ones that have an href ending with the
current location (i.e. the url of the page) *[href=$whatever]*
- go up in the DOM until you find a li (*closest(li)*)
- add a hihglight class (*addclass(highlight)*)
