How to change menu highlight using js?

Question

Yii

Here is my menu

And here is the script
$('ul a').each(function () {
if (this.href == location.href) $(this).parent().addClass('active')
});
How to make it so that when clicking on a non-main element, the class from the main li is removed?

Answer 1

$('ul a').click(function(){
  $('ul a').each(function () {
    if($(this).parent().attr('class') == 'active')
      $(this).parent().removeClass('active');
  });
});

Your task is wrong. This is an approximate answer to your question, but you can make it more elegant by knowing more about your page code
