how to highlight active tab using jquery

How i can highlight a tab that are currently active???
This is my html code.
And this is my jquery code that i'm currently using
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".tabs").not(":first").hide();
$(".tab .control a").click(function(){
storage = $(this).attr("href");
$(".tabs").hide();
$(storage).show();
});
});

Add some class to your tabs. Then create CSS class that will be added on clicked element.
HTML:
Tab 1
Tab 2
CSS:
.tab.active {
background: gray;
}
JavaScript:
$('.tab').on('click', function() {
// Remove .active class from all .tab class elements
$('.tab').removeClass('active');
// Add .active class to currently clicked element
$(this).addClass('active');
});
Working example: https://jsfiddle.net/cr29y1tc/23/

jQuery's addClass works but browser doesn't apply new class

So, on my page I have navigation bar that helps to move around it. After clicking I remove .active class from previous < li> and give it to new one. In console everything looks nice but on the page there is a problem. I can't see the .active class properties in active < li> and scrolling around it isn't working like it used to before clicking. Here is my page and code:
https://kreha6.github.io/MacopediaTask/
(it's hard to describe what's exactly happening :) )
$(document).ready(function() {
function scrollToId(id){
id = id.replace("link", "");
$('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#"+id).offset().top},
'slow');
}
$("#navbar > ul > li > a").click(function(e) {
$('.active').removeClass('active');
$(this).addClass('active');
e.preventDefault();
scrollToId(this.id);
});
});
SCSS:
.active{
a{
background-color: $transparent !important;
text-decoration: overline;
text-decoration-color: $color1;
}
}
edit:
I changed my code to add class to parent element like this:
$(this).parent().addClass('active');
Bootstrap adds active class to < li> which is a's parent, I tried to do the same thing. For some reason it doesn't work. Anyone know why?

Well you are writing it wrong in SCSS because in JQ
$("#navbar > ul > li > a").click(function(e) {
$('.active').removeClass('active');
$(this).addClass('active'); //here you add class active to the clicked 'a' element
So the a element has class .active on click. But, as I understood from the comments you want the li to have class active , so use:
$(this).parents('li').addClass('active')
and also in CSS you should be more specific, because you could have some styles already set for li.active a, for e.g. write:
#navbar ul.nav li.active > a { /*styles*/ }

You need to target the parent div, try to change $("#navbar > ul > li > a") with $("#navbar > ul > li")
$(document).ready(function() {
function scrollToId(id){
id = id.replace("link", "");
$('html,body').animate({
scrollTop: $("#"+id).offset().top},
'slow');
}
$("#navbar > ul > li").click(function(e) {
$('.active').removeClass('active');
$(this).addClass('active');
e.preventDefault();
scrollToId(this.id);
});
});

I look at your website, your classes are not targeted, change the way they are done in CSS, look the image I have attached for you, the class .active not applied]1
as you see the grey colour is overriden, but your classes get applied in javascript.

you can write script as $(this).parent().addClass('active');

jQuery Toggling when it shouldn't

So I got myself this far and I've solved the problem I was having but I'd still like to know why this is.
First, here is my original code:
$(function(){
var navListLength = $('nav ul li').length;
buttonPress(1);
function buttonPress(i){
if(i < navListLength){
$('nav ul li a:nth-child(' + i + ')').click(function(){
$(this).toggleClass('button-pressed');
console.log('Button Down');
setTimeout(function(){
$('nav ul li a:nth-child(' + i + ')').toggleClass('button-pressed');
buttonPress(i + 1);
console.log('Button Up');
}, 500);
});
}
}
});
It's supposed to toggle the style of a single link in a navigation list when it's clicked and not affect any other links in the list.
I wanted to do it this way so that I could add any amount of links to this list in the future without having to create a new a new class and add it to the jQuery each time.
The first toggle works as expected. But the second toggle is being applied to all of the links and it creates an inverted effect. So all of the links are opposite of what they are supposed to be except the link being clicked.
I solved the problem by changing the first toggleClass to addClass and the second toggleClass to removeClass. But I shouldn't have to do that.
Could anyone tell me why this is?
Here's a picture of my buttons:

You're doing way too much work just to toggle a class on click. You don't need to make an array of all the navigation items, the whole point of jQuery is that it handles selecting DOM elements for you.
Try this:
$(function() {
$('nav ul li').click(function() {
$(this).toggleClass('button-pressed');
});
});
You don't have to handle making sure the others aren't affected. Only the clicked element gets toggled.
-- EDIT --
I see what you were going for with the setTimeout() now. You can do it inside the click handler, like this:
$('nav ul li').click(function() {
// store the selection in a variable
var $this = $(this);
$this.toggleClass('button-pressed');
window.setTimeout(function() {
$this.toggleClass('button-pressed');
}, 500);
});
FIDDLE

Why now in pure CSS like:
LIVE DEMO
<span class="button" tabindex="1">
<span>Home</span>
</span>
span.button{
display:inline-block;
border-radius:9px;
background:#ddd;
padding:6px;
vertical-align:middle;
outline:none;
}
span.button > span{
background:#F06BAE;
color:#fff;
font-size:20px;
font-weight:bold;
display:inline-block;
padding:10px 25px;
border-radius: 6px;
border-bottom:4px solid #CB4589;
transition: border 0.3s;
}
span.button:focus > span{
border-top: 4px solid #FCA9D2;
border-bottom-width:0;
}

jQuery - Click sub element but hightlight parent?

I have a html code like this:
<ul>
<li class="curent">Home</li>
<li>
Products
<ul class="sub">
<li>Samsung</li>
<li>Lenovo</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>News</li>
</ul>
http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/5795/70a.png
I want to click any a tag and li tag parent is hightlighted. I try this code but it doesn't work with a tag in ul has sub class:
var this_url = window.location.href;
$('#block_nav_primary ul li').each(function() {
if ($(this).children().attr('href') == this_url) {
$('#block_nav_primary ul').find('li[class="curent"]').removeClass('curent');
$(this).addClass('curent');
}
});
Can anyone point me in the right direction here?
Thanks for your help!
P/S: it looks like this thread Highlight Parent Link in Navigation Menu With Jquery

I'm not sure I quite understand your wording, but you want to apply the same effect to all LI tags, including those in a sublist?
Replace this:
$('#block_nav_primary ul li').each(function() {
With this:
$('#block_nav_primary ul').find('li').each(function() {

Try
val items = $('#block_nav_primary ul li').click(function(){
items.filter('.current').removeClass('current');
$(this).addClass('current')
})

Why don't you try styling it such that the A tag takes the width of the entire LI tag and so when you click A tag, it would highlight the entire thing. The CSS code for it would be something like:
li a {display: block; width: 100%; padding: 10px 0; background-color: pink;}
li a:hover {background-color: orange;}

Try this:
$("ul a").click(function () {
$(this).parent().parent().addClass("blue");
});
or
$("ul a").click(function () {
$(this).closest("ul").addClass("blue");
});
CSS in both cases:
.blue > a {
color: blue;
}
JSFiddle to a quite similar scenario.

Select links in div an set "animations"

Im trying to change the color of the links in a div (mouseover/mouseout), but it doesnt work... why?
html code:
<div id="Navigation">
Products
Projects
Tutorials
Forum
Contact
</div>
js code:
$('#Navigation a').mouseover(function() {
$(this).css("color", "#75c3ff");
});
$('#Navigation a').mouseout(function() {
$(this).css("color", "#c5c5c5");
});

You shouldn't use JS for what you can achieve with CSS.
#Navigation a { color: #c5c5c5 }
#Navigation a:hover { color: #75c3ff }
Just a note - your code is working
