How to add class to current menu item?

Alternatively you may also want to consider the jQuery addClass function.

CSS:
[syntaxhighlighter brush=css,first-line=1,highlight=0,collapse=false,html-script=false] <style>
.newClass{
color: #ff0000;
}
</style>[/syntaxhighlighter]
HTML:
[syntaxhighlighter brush=html,first-line=1,highlight=0,collapse=false,html-script=false] <div id="nav">Testing content here</div><br />
<button onclick="addClass()">Click me</button>[/syntaxhighlighter]
Javascript:
[syntaxhighlighter brush=javascript,first-line=1,highlight=0,collapse=false,html-script=false]<script type="text/javascript">
function addClass()
{
$("#nav".addClass("newClass";
}
</script>[/syntaxhighlighter]
Complete Example Script:
[syntaxhighlighter brush=php,first-line=1,highlight=0,collapse=false,html-script=false]<?php
// Testing JQUERY add class function
require_once "maincore.php";
require_once THEMES."templates/header.php";
include LOCALE.LOCALESET."downloads.php";
add_to_head('
<style>
.newClass{
color: #ff0000;
}
</style>
';

opentable('Testing CSS Function';
echo '
<div id="nav">Testing content here</div><br />
<button onclick="addClass()">Click me</button>
';
closetable();

add_to_footer('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>';
add_to_footer('<script type="text/javascript">
function addClass()
{
$("#nav".addClass("newClass";
}
</script>';
require_once THEMES."templates/footer.php";
?>[/syntaxhighlighter]

Now this is something I can never do. Lol great stuff!

here is a dirty hack I use here and there.



#nav is the ID of your class item, current is the class that will be added if the URL matches ID.
