Adding Css Class Using Jquery

Below I have included the jquery code I am using to add a css class to the link in the side column that equals the active url, but it's not working, and at some point it did. Link:

Solution 1:

Well, besides that code missing braces and parens it can be done much simpler:

$(function(){
    $("a[href^='" + location.href + "']").addClass("CurrentProject");
});

Solution 2:

You have unclosed braces in your script:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("ul.right_submenu > li > a").each(function() {
        var a = $(this);
        if (a.attr('href') == location.href) {
            a.addClass("CurrentProject");
        }
    });
});

and you could rewrite your script like this:

$('ul.right_submenu > li > a[href=' + location.href + ']')
    .addClass('CurrentProject');

Solution 3:

Following your link, my location.href goes to http://www.liquidcomma.com/portfolio/project/TSF_Robot_Ad/1/ but your project link in the page points to http://www.liquidcomma.com/portfolio/project/trade_show_fabrications/1... that will make attr('href') != location.href.

In the other links, location.href will be ending with a slash whereas the link's href will not.

You should use something else to match your project other than the href attribute, if you expect it to change in the future (and it probably will).
