I have the following menu by bootstrap
HTML
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active" id="homeL"><a data-scroll href="#Home">Home</a></li>
<li>About</li>
<li class="" id="workL"><a data-scroll href="#Work">Work</a></li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
how can I alter changing the <li> class to active when either home or work is clicked?
The following isn't working for me
$("#homeL").on("click",function(){
$(".nav navbar-nav li").removeClass("active");
$(this).addClass("active");
});
UPDATED
Your css selectors seems to be wrong. Please try as given below,
<script>
$(".nav li").on("click", function() {
$(".nav li").removeClass("active");
$(this).addClass("active");
});
</script>
I have created a plunkr for this here
Try this:
$("ul li").on("click", function() {
$("li").removeClass("active");
$(this).addClass("active");
});
You will have to play around with it with your given tags. What helped me was declaring this to become active, then removing the active class.
one of your selectors is malformed, by looking at your html it looks like on the third line of the script that selector isn't doing what I think you want it to.
$("#homeL, #workL").click(function(){
//$(".nav navbar-nav li") <-this is looking for a <li> inside a <navbar-nav>
// tag inside a tag with the class "nav"
$(".nav.navbar-nav li").removeClass("active");
$(this).addClass("active");
});
$(".ul li").on("click", function() {
$(this).siblings().removeClass('active');
$(this).addClass("active");
});
This is the solution that worked for me. I declared this to become active and remove the active class and also adding the .siblings() method that allows you to search for the siblings of the li elements in the document.
Include this script
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('.nav a').filter(function(){
return this.href==location.href}).parent().addClass('active').siblings().removeClass('active');
$('.nav a').click(function(){
$(this).parent().addClass('active').siblings().removeClass('active')
});
});
</script>
i found another workaround for this which is very easy to use.
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="<?php if($page=="home.html"){echo "active";} ?>"> id="homeL"><a data-scroll href="home.html">Home</a></li>
<li class="<?php if($page=="about.html"){echo "active";} ?>">About</li>
<li class="<?php if($page=="work.html"){echo "active";} ?>"> id="workL"><a data-scroll href="work.html">Work</a></li>
<li class="<?php if($page=="contact.html"){echo "active";} ?>">Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>

jQuery(function($) {
var path = window.location.href;
$('ul li').each(function() {
if (this.href === path) {
$(this).addClass('active');
}
});
});
<ul id="nav" class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="active">A</li>
<li>Bs</li>
<li>C </li>
</ul>
I want to change the class="active" in list items on click.
<li id="a" >A</li>
Using $('#a').attr('class', 'active')
Output:
<li id="a" class='active' >A</li>
The problem is you're checking the li element for its href property, which doesn't exist. You need to check the a tag inside of the li element for the href property like this:
if ($(this).find('a').attr('href') === path) {
$(this).addClass('active');
}
You could use:
$(this).toggleClass('class1 class2')
If you are looking to change an active class and html pages this would be an effective way to do this.If you just want to change the active class use only the first 4 lines of code.
$( document ).ready(function() {
$(".nav li").click(function() {
$(".nav li.active").removeClass("active");
$(this).addClass("active");
if($(this).attr('id')=="yourfirstlinkid"){
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML='<object type="text/html" data="yoursite" height="90% width="90%" ></object>';
}else if($(this).attr('id')=="otherid"){
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML='<object type="text/html" data="othersite"></object>';
}else{
document.getElementById("content").innerHTML='<div/>';
}
});
});
And then all you need to do to your html is
<ul class="nav">
<li class="active" id="whateveryouwant">A</li>
<li id="whateveryouwant" >Bs</li>
<li id="whateveryouwant">C</li>
</ul>
<div align= "center" id="content"></div>
Another thing I want to add is never use herf for a nav bar because the navbar js code will change never allowing it to change it's current active class.
I'm trying to add "active" class to menu when user clicks on the button but for some reason it's not working correctly. They have to click really fast and two times. I've tried both click and on click function but still not working.
$('#menu li').click(function() {
$('#menu li.active').removeClass('active');
$(this).addClass('active');
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right" id="menu">
<li class="nav active">Home
</li>
<li class="nav">About
</li>
<li class="nav">Services
</li>
<li class="nav">Gallery
</li>
<li class="nav">Contact
</li>
</ul>
</div>
you must handle active li after page loaded.Add this at the end of your code:
var curruntLocation = window.location.href;
$('#menu li a').each(function ()
{
var thisHref = $(this).attr('href');
if (curruntLocation.indexOf(thisHref) > 0)
{
$(this).parent().addClass('active');
}
});
The links included in the menu items are reloading the page while clicking and when the page is reloaded, the initial setting comes first. You can use preventDefault() if you'd like to run the function but then, your links won't work.
I suggest you use anchors instead of query string.
So i want to hide my bootstrap menu on the event when an item is clicked. This is my menu code
<div class="container visible-xs" id="top">
<div class="header-bottom navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="top-nav">
<span class="menu"><img src="images/pic copy.png" alt="toggle"> BESSIT4REAL</span>
<ul id="ul">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Music</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="social-icons">
<ul class="social">
<li><a href="#" ><i> </i> </a></li>
<li></i></li>
<li></i></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
<br class="visible-xs">
</div>
and this is my javascript code
<script>
$("span.menu").click(function(){
$(".top-nav ul").slideToggle(500, function(){
$("#ul li a").click(function() {
$(".ul").hide();
});
});
$('')
});
</script>
Basically i need to hide the entire "<ul>" element when the <li> item is clicked,
Currently when someone click on home or about, the menu stays on the screen and does not disappear.
Use the following Jquery Code:
<script>
$(".top-nav li").click(function(){
$(".top-nav ul").slideToggle(500, function(){
$(this).hide();
});
});
</script>
you have an error.. your ul has an ID not a class, so you should us '#' in your jquery.
And to hide your ul you can use either hide() or fadeOut(0)..
$("#ul li a").click(function() {
$("#ul").fadeOut(0);
});
or
$("#ul li a").click(function() {
$(this).fadeOut(0);
});
$(".ul").hide();
references all elements with a class of "ul" You probably want (in your code example) the id referece
$("#ul").hide();
Or if you want all the <ul> elements then give them both the same class (like "hideableUL") then you could go like:
$(".hideableUL").hide();
I did this and it helped.
$("span.menu").click(function(){
$(".top-nav #ul").slideToggle(500, function(){
$("#ul li a").click(function() {
$(".top-nav #ul").hide();
});
});
$('')
});
I'm trying to achieve this. But I could not succeed so far. My code is given below. What is wrong with it?
html:
<nav id="bt-menu" class="bt-menu">
<a href="#" class="bt-menu-trigger" id="bt-icon icon-gplus" ><br><span>Menu
<ul >
<li style="text-align:center;"><span>DashBoard</span></li>
<li style="text-align:center;"><span>User </span></li>
<li style="text-align:center;"><span>Candidates</span></li>
<li style="text-align:center;"><span>Partylist</span></li>
<li style="text-align:center;"><span>Position</span></li>
<li style="text-align:center;"><span>Program</span></li>
<li style="text-align:center;"><span>Department</span></li>
<li style="text-align:center;"class="active"><span>School-Year</span></li>
<li style="text-align:center;"><span>Reports</span></li>
<li style="text-align:center;"><span>Logs</span>
<ul class="sub-menu" style="text-align:right">
<li>Submenu</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
</nav>
Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
$('li a').click(
function() {
$(this).next().slideToggle();
})
</script>
Firstly correct your markup ,some tags are not properly closed.
Second, you need to use preventDefault() to disable the default action of the a tag.
Third,
$('li a').click(
function() {
$(this).next().slideToggle();
})
this code will toggle you menu only if next element is the menu itself.
so use this
$('li a').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('a:contains(Submenu)').slideToggle();
});

I have ul.menu for which few li are styled differently, therefore those li dont need to add active class.
<ul class="menu">
<li id="1st" class="default">Text1</li>
<li id="2nd" class="default">Text2</li>
<li class="cross-out">Text3</li>
</ul>
jQuery to add active class for first two links, except li.cross-out
$('ul.menu li').click(function(){
$('ul.menu li').removeClass('active');
$(this).not('cross-out').addClass('active');
});
What is wrong? Hope I was clear enough...
You forgot the class identifier before cross-out:
$('ul.menu li').click(function(){
$('ul.menu li').removeClass('active');
$(this).not('.cross-out').addClass('active');
});
The period makes all the difference. Then because you may have several other ul.menu elements on your page, you just want the one whose li was clicked to change:
$('ul.menu li').click(function(){
$(this).siblings('li.active').removeClass('active');
$(this).not('.cross-out').addClass('active');
});
$('ul.menu li').click(function(){
$(this).siblings('li.active').removeClass('active');
$(this).not('.cross-out').addClass('active');
});
.active {
background-color:gray;
font-weight:bolder;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul class="menu">
<li class="default">Text1</li>
<li class="default">Text2</li>
<li class="cross-out">Text3</li>
</ul>
<ul class="menu">
<li class="default">Text1</li>
<li class="default">Text2</li>
<li class="cross-out">Text3</li>
</ul>
<ul class="menu">
<li class="default">Text1</li>
<li class="default">Text2</li>
<li class="cross-out">Text3</li>
</ul>
Jquery has a toggle class function
$("#td_id").toggleClass('default active');
