jQuery Forum

The problem is I have a navigation in two parts. Top Nav and Left Nav. I need to tell the top link to have a class of ".active" if the left navigation's sibling is the current url.

EX: If you're on a child link of about ie - Bio I need to tell the top nav link About link to have the class of .active.

<--top nav-->

Home | About | Contact

<-- Lots of code here -->

<--Left Nav-->

<ul id="leftnav">

       <li>Home</li>

       <li><a href="ul.com/">About</a>

            <ul>

                  <li>Bio</li>

                  <li>History</li>

                  <li>Location</li>

            </ul>

      <li>Contact</li>

</ul>

This is the code I use in my Accordion to tell it to open if the url is one of the siblings but I can't seem to figure out how to check the url then compare it to it's parent and then target a different element etc.

            $('.sidebarNav li a[href$="' + currentPage + '"]').eq(0).parents('ul').show();

});
