To start off, if this has already been answered please point me to the right area as I have not yet been able to find it.
I have built a web sit which contains 4+ pages and I am using the php code include(filename.php); where filename.php is the name of the php file containing my header navigation. I also have a class named "current" which, before adding the include() statement was manually placed on each link within the navigation bar. I am trying to do this using jQuery as I have had to remove this class within the linked php file. I have tried writing the code as such:
<body>
<?php
$file_included = true;
// common code used in every page
if ($file_included == true) {
include("header.php");
} else {
header("Location:remedies.php");
}
?>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#about").addClass("current");
});
</script>
however when I test this site on my server, the "current" class does not move to the currently selected link. The code contained within the linked .php file is as follows:
<div id="title">
<header>
<img src="images/Dragon-Catcher-Web-Logo.jpg" alt="Dragon Catcher Web Design Logo" id="design" style="padding-right: 15%; padding-left: 1%; padding-top: 1%;"/>
<span style="text-align: center;">Dragon Catcher Herbs</span>
</header>
<nav>
<ul id="navlist">
<li><a href="index.php" id="home">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="about.php" id="about">About Us</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.php" id="contact">Contact Us</a></li>
<li><a href="beginner.php" id="beginner">Beginner Herbalists</a></li>
<li><a href="herbs.php" id="herb">Herb List</a></li>
<li><a href="remedies.php" id="remedy">Remedies</a></li>
<li><a href="recommend.php" id="user">User Recommended</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
not sure where I went wrong with my code but any and all help would be great.
