如何在点击时更改菜单的样式？

Question

How can I change the style of active menu/submenu which is selected by user? When I click a submenu, I want that submenu and its parent menu to have a different style (like hover, but permanent).

/*jQuery time*/
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#accordian h3").click(function(){
        //slide up all the link lists
        $("#accordian ul ul").slideUp();
        //slide down the link list below the h3 clicked - only if its closed
        if(!$(this).next().is(":visible"))
        {
            $(this).next().slideDown();
        }
    })
})

/*custom font for text*/
@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito);
/*CSS file for fontawesome - an iconfont we will be using. This CSS file imported contains the font-face declaration. More info: http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/ */
@import url(http://thecodeplayer.com/uploads/fonts/fontawesome/css/font-awesome.min.css);

/*Basic reset*/
* {margin: 0; padding: 0;}

body {
    background: #4EB889;
    font-family: Nunito, arial, verdana;

#accordian {

    width: 250px;
    margin: 100px auto 0 auto;
    color: white;
    /*Some cool shadow and glow effect*/
    box-shadow:

        0 0 200px 1px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
}

    /*fallback for browsers not supporting gradients*/
    background: #003040; 
    background: linear-gradient(#003040, #002535);
}
/*heading hover effect*/
#accordian h3:hover {
    text-shadow: 0 0 1px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
}
/*iconfont styles*/
#accordian h3 span {
    font-size: 16px;

    display: block;
    padding: 0 15px;
    /*transition for smooth hover animation*/
    transition: all 0.15s;
}
/*hover effect on links*/
#accordian ul ul li a:hover {
    background: #003545;
    border-left: 5px solid lightgreen;
}
/*Lets hide the non active LIs by default*/
#accordian ul ul {
    display: none;
}
#accordian li.active ul {
    display: block;
}

Answer 1

Just add this javascript code:

$("#accordian h3").click(function(){
      $('.active').removeClass('active');
      $(this).addClass('active');
});
$('#accordian li a').click(function(){
     $('.submenu-active').removeClass('submenu-active');
     $(this).addClass('submenu-active');
});

and this CSS:

.active{
    text-shadow: 0 0 1px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
    color: red; /* NOTE i INTENTIONALLY ADDED RED COLOR TO ILLUSTRATE BETTER */
}
.submenu-active{
    background: #003545;
    border-left: 5px solid lightgreen;
}

try this DEMO

Explanation:

When you click on a menu item you want to remove the .active class from the previously active item and set it to the clicked item. The same is applied to the submenu item where I add .submenu-active class instead .active
