Jquery Adding Class On Selected Tab

I am a beginner with jQuery and I am trying to modify a script. The script demo is here. Right now, they add a line above the selected tab, which I don't want. What I want to do

Solution 1:

the_tabs.click(function(e){
    var element = $(this);
    if( element.hasClass('active') ) {
        returnfalse;
    }
    else {   
        the_tabs.removeClass('active'); 
        element.addClass('active');
    }
}  

Solution 2:

You just need:

 $(this).addClass('nameOfYourClass')

to add a class to the clicked object

Solution 3:

instead of

if(element.find('.active').length) returnfalse;

use

if(element.hasClass('.active')) returnfalse;

or you have to use .filter instead of .find, find is trying to find a child node that has the class .active but .filter filters out the collection to find the matching css-selecotr

Solution 4:

Try this:

the_tabs.click(function(e){
    /* "this" points to the clicked tab hyperlink: */var element = $(this);

    /* If it is currently active, return false and exit: */if(element.hasClass('active')) returnfalse;

    /* Detecting the color of the tab (it was added to the class attribute in the loop above): */var bg = element.attr('class').replace('tab ','');

    $('ul.tabContainer .active').removeClass('active');
    element.addClass('active');

    /* Checking whether the AJAX fetched page has been cached: */if(!element.data('cache'))
    {   
        /* If no cache is present, show the gif preloader and run an AJAX request: */
        $('#contentHolder').html('<img src="img/ajax_preloader.gif" width="64" height="64" class="preloader" />');

        $.get(element.data('page'),function(msg){
            $('#contentHolder').html(msg);

            /* After page was received, add it to the cache for the current hyperlink: */
            element.data('cache',msg);
        });
    }
    else $('#contentHolder').html(element.data('cache'));

    e.preventDefault();
})
