HTML Menu set Parent item class if child item has class

I have an HTML menu that has .active classes.
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse pull-left" id="navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li>Home</li>
<li class="dropdown">
Account <span class="caret"></span>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li class="active">Account Details</li>
<li>Contacts</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
The active classes are set on the <li> items (parent and sub items)
How can I use javascript to set the active class on the items if the url equals the href of the menu item and also set its parent item with the active class
I tried to do it with this javascript, but it didn't work.
<script>
$(function() {
$('#navbar-collapse li').each(function() {
if(this.href.indexOf(window.location.pathname) === 0) {
$(this).addClass('active');
} else {
// case when something was set to active by the server
$(this).removeClass('active');
}
});
});
</script>

if(document.querySelector('.dropdown .active')
document.querySelector('.dropdown').classList.add('active');
Basically, if any <li> child has class .active, then assign .active to the .dropdown element
Edit: working example

Use this: https://api.jquery.com/closest/
$('li.active').closest('li').addClass('active');

Jquery - How to add active class to entire navigation menu path?

I have a menu with 3 levels, and I would like to use a class for the first active li and a second class for all other subsequent li. When I click on a selection the level 3 to remain active the whole path (level 1, level 2, level 3). If I click on a selection on level 2 to remain active up to level 2.
I have the following:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.sf-menu li a').each(function(index) {
if((this.pathname.trim() == window.location.pathname))
$(this).parent().addClass("selected");
var next_li = $(this).parent().next();
$('a', next_li).addClass("selected2");
});
});

I think I got it this time, It's a bit dirty but It works.
First add classes so you can identify first, second and third level <li> elements. Do it in the foreach, or whatever bucle that makes the menu (or by hand if there's no such bucle):
<ul id="navlist" >
<li id="home" class="firstLevel">
<a class="nav" href="home">Home</a>
<ul class="secondLevel">
<li class="secondLevel">
<a class="nav2" href="home">sub-Home1</a>
<ul>
<li class="thirdLevel"><a class="nav3" href="home">sub-sub-Home1></a></li>
<li class="thirdLevel"><a class="nav3" href="home">sub-sub-Home1></a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a class="nav2" href="home">sub-Home2</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li id="about" class="firstLevel">
<a class="nav" href="about-us">About Us</a>
</li>
</ul>
Then use jQuery closest. It traverses up the DOM tree and matches the closest item, you can pass a selector (the firstLevel or secondLevel classes we just created):
$('#navlist a').on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault(); //prevent the link from being followed
$('#navlist a').removeClass('selected');
$('#navlist a').removeClass('selected2');
$(this).closest('.secondLevel').children('a').addClass('selected2');
$(this).closest('.firstLevel').children('a').addClass('selected2');
$(this).addClass('selected');
});
Then you add !important to the selected class (so when there's a colision like in the About Us link selected is the class that is applied). This is the dirtiest part.

Removing and adding Classes on Dropdown Menus on Hover

I have a Navigation built that have drop down menus,
HTML STRUCTURE LIKE SO
<li class="c-header__subnav-item c-header__subnav-item-is-hidden c-header__subnav-item-is-visible-md">
<a class="c-header__subnav-links u-caps js-c-header__subnav-trigger" href="#">
Action Review Review
<i class="fa fa-angle-down fa-lg c-btn__icon-right-sm"></i>
</a>
<ul class="c-header__subnav-dd">
<li class="c-header__subnav-dd-item">
<a class="c-header__subnav-links c-header__subnav-links--dd" href="#">
Overview
</a>
</li>
<li class="c-header__subnav-dd-item">
<a class="c-header__subnav-links c-header__subnav-links--dd" href="#">
Review Form
</a>
</li>
<li class="c-header__subnav-dd-item">
<a class="c-header__subnav-links c-header__subnav-links--dd" href="#">
Performance Card
</a>
</li>
<li class="c-header__subnav-dd-item">
<a class="c-header__subnav-links c-header__subnav-links--dd" href="#">
Recent Recordings
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
When You Hover On the a.js-c-header__subnav-trigger
It addes a class to its self as well as its sibling ul ( the dropdown menu)
This is perfect but since the hover is triggered on the 'a' element If I toggle the class when and I go to hover on the drop down menu it gets removed before I can because of hovering off the 'a' element.
If I just add the classes and do not use toggle how would I remove both classes once I hover off the A element or Dropdown menu.
What needs to be achieved is
1.) If main nav link is hovered add an active class to itself and drop down is triggered and can be seen. If you hover out WITHOUT engaging the dropdown both active and dropdown class are removed
2.) If main nav link is hovered add an active class to itself and if dropdown IS engaged by user keep both classes until dropdown is hovered out of or 'A' Element.
CURRENT JQUERY CODE
;(function($, window, document, undefined) {
var $win = $(window);
var $doc = $(document);
var $classes = {
SubNavTrigger : 'js-c-header__subnav-trigger',
SubNavItemActive : 'c-header__subnav-item-is-active',
SubNavDropDown : 'c-header__subnav-dd',
SubNavDropDownActive : 'c-header__subnav-dd-is-active'
};
var _isMobile = false;
_isMobile = ($win.width() <= 1024) ? true : false;
// Check if user is on touch on page load
// if isMobile use click events
// if not mobile use hover events
if(_isMobile) {
$("." + $classes.SubNavTrigger).on('click', function(){
if ( $(this).hasClass( $classes.SubNavItemActive ) ){
// If Item has active class removeClass
$(this).removeClass( $classes.SubNavItemActive )
} else {
// If Item does not have active class addClass
$(this).addClass($classes.SubNavItemActive);
} //End if
// Add Active Class To Subnav.
$(this).siblings().toggleClass($classes.SubNavDropDownActive);
});
} else {
$("." + $classes.SubNavTrigger).on('hover', function(){
$(this).addClass($classes.SubNavItemActive);
// Add Active Class To Subnav.
// If set to toggle impossible to hover on this menu.
$(this).siblings().addClass($classes.SubNavDropDownActive);
});
}
})(jQuery, window, document);
Thanks In Advance for any help.

So I would make a few changes, I would move the s-c-header__subnav-triggerclass to the parent li. I would then change the jquery to use the hover(in,out). The in function would look something like
function () {
$(this).addClass($classes.SubNavItemActive);
// Add Active Class To Subnav.
$(this).children().addClass($classes.SubNavDropDownActive);
}
and the out
function () {
$(this).removeClass($classes.SubNavItemActive);
// Add Active Class To Subnav.
$(this).children().removeClass($classes.SubNavDropDownActive);
}
Here is a jsfiddle

Updated Javascript but not working
<script type='text/javascript'>//<![CDATA[
window.onload=function(){
$(document).ready(function () {
var index = Cookies.get('active');
$('.secondary').find('a').removeClass('active');
$(".secondary").find('a').eq(index).addClass('active');
$('.secondary').on('click', 'li a', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('.secondary').find('a').removeClass('active');
$(this).addClass('active');
Cookies.set('active', $('.clearfix a').index(this));
});
});
}//]]>
</script>

You will definitely store somewhere the data, wich was the last active tab. If you want to do this on client side only, one solution can be the cookies. See here: How do I set/unset cookie with jQuery?
If you are using HTML5, then you can use web storage. See here.
If you are rendering your page by PHP, you can use $_SESSION variable for this. When user clicks a tab, you make an ajax request, and store the value of the active tab in a $_SESSION variable, but as i see, you want to do it on the client side.
UPDATE
Ok, i just created it for you.
First thing is to set an id for every a element in my example, to know, wich is that. You can do it some other way, but now this is the most simple.
Second is to download the jquery.cookie.js, and do not use the URL, store it locally.
Third, here could be a problem, if cookies are disabled on the client machine.
You need to do something like this:
HTML
<div role="navigation" id="navPrimary">
<ul class="secondary">
<li>Home</li>
<li>Account Menu
<ul>
<li>OVERVIEW</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS
.active {font-weight: bold; color: #F00}
JQUERY
ok, stacoverflow does not allow me to paste here a code but i loaded here the
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carhartl/jquery-cookie/master/src/jquery.cookie.js script also!
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(function() {
//$.removeCookie("active");
var activeMenu = $.cookie("active");
console.log(activeMenu);
if (typeof activeMenu === 'undefined') {
$("#home").addClass("active");
} else {
$('#' + activeMenu).addClass('active');
}
$('li a').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var listItems = $("#navPrimary li a");
listItems.each(function(idx, li) {
$(li).removeClass('active');
});
$(this).addClass('active');
var id = $(this).attr('id');
$.cookie("active", id);
});
})
</script>

Removing active state when toggling between divs

I have created multiple top down menu items. When the links are clicked a div slides down to show some content.
What I am trying to do with these links is toggle between them. When one div is opened an active state is added to the link, when it is closed the active state is removed and the div hidden. When you click between the links I have managed to get them to toggle between each other and the active state is added to the div that is opened.
What I cannot achieve is removing the active state and resetting some css.
Here is my Javascript:
//menu toggle
$(".trigger").click(function() {
var divToToggle = $( $(this).data('target') );
$(".toggle:visible").not(divToToggle).hide();
$(".trigger").not(divToToggle).removeClass('active');
$('.top-nav').css('margin-top', '20px');
divToToggle.slideToggle("fast", "linear");
$(this).toggleClass('active');
$('.top-nav').css('margin-top', '0px');
return false;
});
The .toggle class is on all the divs that are toggled:
<div class="account-container toggle hide"></div>
<div class="collections-container toggle hide"></div>
<div class="search-container toggle hide"></div>
The .trigger class is on all my links:
<ul class="top-nav">
<li><a class="hidden-tablet" href="">home </a></li>
<li><a class="hidden-tablet" href="">about us </a></li>
<li><a class="hidden-tablet" href="">where to buy </a></li>
<li><a class="hidden-tablet" href="">contact us </a></li>
<li class="tablet-menu visible-tablet"><a class="tablet-menu trigger" href="" data-target=".tablet-menu-container">tablet menu</a></li>
<li class="account"><a class="account trigger" href="" data-target=".account-container">account</a></li>
<li class="collection"><a class="collection trigger" href="" data-target=".collections-container">collections</a></li>
<li class="search"><a class="search trigger" href="" data-target=".search-container">search</a></li>
<li class="basket"><a class="basket trigger" href="" data-target=".home-basket-container">basket</a></li>
</ul>

It's hard to say where exactly your code is going wrong, but I've re-written it so it works slightly differently. Your click handler has to handle two possibilities: either we're clicking to hide an existing section, or we're clicking to switch to a new section. But we can also think of this as being two steps, with the second one optional: either we hide an existing section, or we hide an existing section and show a new one.
I've also switched to using ev.preventDefault() to stop the link from firing, named the jQuery variables so they start with $ (which makes them easier to differentiate). You can try it out on jsfiddle here.
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".trigger").click(function (ev) {
ev.preventDefault();
var $clickedLink = $(this);
var $divToToggle = $($(this).data('target'));
var isHideOnly = $clickedLink.hasClass('active');
// Hide the existing div and remove 'active' class.
$(".toggle:visible").hide();
$(".trigger").removeClass('active');
$('.top-nav').css('margin-top', '20px');
// If we're showing a new one, reveal it and set the active class on the link.
if (!isHideOnly) {
$divToToggle.slideToggle("fast", "linear");
$('.top-nav').css('margin-top', '0');
$clickedLink.addClass('active');
}
});
});
