I would like to modify the class of certain elements of my sidebar when some user clicks on a tab. In short, change the class of the sidebar elements to current class " active"
I have implemented a partially working solution as I could after doing some research on my own.
This part of the code is key:
$(".setActive").click(function() {
$(".sidebar-item:contains('" $(this).attr("data-target") "')").parent().parent().addClass(' active');
})
Actually, with that line of code, I change the class to active
but there is a problem:
- I don't know how to remove the
active
class from the previously visited sidebar elements, then I am getting something like this:
How can I solve this issue?
CodePudding user response:
Remove all active
class added before adding the current one
$(".setActive").click(function() {
$(".sidebar-element.active").removeClass('active');
$(".sidebar-item:contains('" $(this).attr("data-target") "')").parent().parent().addClass(' active');
})
