Seeking assistance with a problem I am facing. I would like to add the nav-active
class to an li element only once, meaning if a child element is selected, then the parent li should not have the nav-active
class. Below is the code I am using, but it does not meet my requirements. Thank you in advance.
Here is the code snippet:
$('ul li').find('li').click(function(){
var $this = $(this);
$('li').removeClass('nav-active');
$this.addClass('nav-active');
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<nav id="menu" class="nav-main" role="navigation">
<ul class="nav nav-main">
<li class="nav-parent item-b">
<a href="#">
<i class="icon icon-global" aria-hidden="true"></i>
<span>Global</span>
</a>
<ul class="nav nav-children">
<li class="item-a">
<a href="#">
<span>News</span>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">
<span>Highlights</span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="nav-parent">
<a href="#">
<i class="icon icon-document-512"></i><span>My Documents</span>
</a>
<ul class="nav nav-children" id="menu1">
<li>
<a href="#">
<span>My Download</span>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">
<span>My Wishlist</span>
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="#">
<span>My New Documents</span></a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
...
// Other list items and nested structures continue here
</ul>
</nav>
