how do you manually add it when the link is www.somesite.com which i would want it to be added to index.html ?
function setActive() {
/*current page function*/
$('#menu a').each(function(index) {
if(this.href.trim() == window.location)
$(this).addClass("current");
});
this works for any pages that are in the navigation menu.
Why don't you provide a class on the body tag to identify if you are on this page rather than check your current url.
e.g.
<html>
<body class="somesite">
</body>
</html>
and in your javascript you do this
$('#menu a').each(function() {
if ($('body.somesite').length) {
$(this).addClass('current');
}
});
Why don't you just use the active pseudo class in CSS?
