Add Class To Link when clicked

[Xtremer360]

I have this function and with it I would like to add something to that so that with the link that is clicked it add a class to that link with a class name of active and I found a jquery function for it below but couldn't apply it right and don't know what I'm doing wrong.

 

$('a').click(function() {
            $('#content').load('mods/' + $(this).attr('id') + '.php');
        });

 

.addClass('active');

 

$('a').click(function() {
            $('#content').load('mods/' + $(this).attr('id') + '.php').addClass('active');
        });

Your trying to add a class to the #content div, what you want is....

 

$('a').click(function() {
    $('#content').load('mods/' + $(this).attr('id') + '.php')
    $(this).addClass('active');
});

 

$(this) refers to the item clicked. You really should read some basic jQuery tutorials if your going to start using it. its a VERY simple framework, that can be very powerful once you understand how it works.
