Jquery addClass not working

[themistral]

Hi guys,

 

I'm having an interesting problem

 

I have the following code doesn't work.

 

$("#title").focus(function () {
$("#d_title").addClass("active");
});

 

Bus this code does:

 

$("#title").focus(function () {
$("#d_title").css("background", "#f39c12");
});

 

I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice as to why the second one works and the first one doesn't.

 

If I change the first example to:

 

$("#title").focus(function () {
$(this).addClass("active");
});

 

it works but it changes #title and I need #d_title to have the class added - so I know it's not a problem with the css stylesheet not being imported.

 

I'm wondering if it's the order in which the css is being applied...

Any help gratefully appreciated!!

OK sorted it!

 

The problem was as I thought, so changed the name of the class in the stylesheet to be more specific to the element I needed to add the class name to.
