JQuery - How to add class to certain span if href equals something

I have a menu on a page. I want to add the class username to the my username span, that has an a href; that equals ?m=user_admin&p=edit_user&user_id=1.
Keep in mind that I want it to add this class, no matter what the username is! because the username will change all the time. How can I do it?
Example of the Menu
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li><a class="user_menu_link_selected" href="#"><span>Dashboard</span></a></li>
<li><a class="user_menu_link" href="#"><span>Monitor</span></a><li>
<li><a class="user_menu_link" href="#"><span>Admin</span></a></li>
<li><a class="user_menu_link" href="#"><span>FTP</span></a></li>
<li><a class="user_menu_link" href="?m=user_admin&p=edit_user&user_id=1"><span>my username</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
I tried this JS code but it added the class to all the spans. I only want it added on the my username span because the href equals ?m=user_admin&p=edit_user&user_id=1.
$('ul a').each(
function(){
if($(this).attr('href')=="?m=user_admin&p=edit_user&user_id=1"){
$('.menu > ul > li > a > span').addClass("username");
}
});

$('ul a').each(
function(){
if($(this).attr('href')=="?m=user_admin&p=edit_user&user_id=1"){
$(this).find('span').addClass("username");
}
});

The following line should refer to this:
$('.menu > ul > li > a > span').addClass("username");
Probably
$(this).addClass("username");

use CSS here is the documentation it will select all the span whose parent a has the link
a[href='?m=user_admin&p=edit_user&user_id=1'] span {
color:Red
}
demo - http://jsfiddle.net/zq0fs7om/

Try this..
$('ul li a').each(
function(index){
if($(this).attr('href')=="?m=user_admin&p=edit_user&user_id=1"){
$(this).children('span').addClass("username");
}
});

You can check out the jsfiddle here:
http://jsfiddle.net/ow1478rd/
here's the gist of the code:
$('ul > li > a').each(function(){
if($(this).attr('href')=="?m=user_admin&p=edit_user&user_id=1"){
$(this).closest("li").find("span").addClass("username");
}
});
Basically the thing to note here is "closest" will basically search UP the DOM, and then "find" will search DOWN the DOM. so with your structure you're going up to the closest list element, and then finding the span inside of it to change the CSS. Hope this helps man.

ul li selector doesn't work

I have an issue using jquery. I have a content that have to become visible when I click on ul li in navigation.
But I'm missing something, when I click, nothing happens. I am not sure why this happens. Please take a look at the provided fiddle near the bottom
Here is the code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("ul.topnav > li.one").click(function() {
$('.content').hide(500).fadeOut(400);
if ($(this).next().is(':hidden') == true) {
$(this).next().show(400).fadeIn(500);
}
});
$('.content').hide();
});
<ul class="topnav">
<li class="one">test</li>
<li>second</li>
</ul>
<div class="content">Some content here</div>
Here is a fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/2pBge/

Here you go
http://jsfiddle.net/Mc92M/1/
$(document).ready(function(){
$("li.one").on("click", function() {
$('.content').fadeOut(400);
if ($('.content').is(':hidden')) {
$('.content').fadeIn(500);
}
});
$('.content').hide();
});
When you used .next() it is targeting the second li, not content div so nothing shows or hides. I also removed the .hide and .show as you already have fade in/out
If you really want to use the .next() then you would have to do
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".topnav").on("click", function(e) {
if( $(e.target).parent().is('li.one') ) {
$(this).next().toggle();
}
});
$('.content').hide();
});

First of all, your event isn't firing. Just set up a click listener for ul.topnav and delegate the event:
$("ul.topnav").on("click", "li.one", function() { ... });
Then, delete the rest of that nonsense and just use .toggle():
$('.content').toggle();
Working DEMO
$(document).ready(function(){
$("ul.topnav").on("click", "li.one", function() {
console.log('clicked!');
$('.content').toggle();
});
$('.content').hide();
});

HTML tags won't accept my CSS classes when changed via JavaScript

I'm trying to change the classes of certain HTML elements when clicked on using JavaScript, but having some trouble.
Here's the JavaScript:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#subnav li a').click(function(){
var $this = $(this);
$this.addClass('highlight').siblings('a').removeClass('highlight');
});
});
Here's the corresponding HTML:
<div id="subnav">
<ul id="subnav-ul">
<li>Click 1</li>
<li>Click 2</li>
<li>Click 3</li>
</ul>
</div>
The single CSS class is as follows:
.highlight {
border-left: 4px solid rgba(51,102,255,.6);
color: rgba(0,0,0,.8);
}

The anchors are not siblings, they are within LI elements that are siblings
$('#subnav li a').click(function(){
$(this).addClass('highlight')
.closest('li')
.siblings('li')
.find('a')
.removeClass('highlight');
});

$('#subnav li a').click(function(){
$(this).addClass('highlight');
$(this).parent().siblings('li').find('a').removeClass('highlight');
});
Try the above code.

The anchors are not siblings to one another. They are cousins.

It's not removing the highlight class because you have:
$this.addClass('highlight').siblings('a')
when it should be:
$this.parent().siblings('li').find('a')
Example
http://jsfiddle.net/DU7V8/1/

Try this code:
$(function() {
$('#subnav li a').click(function(){
$('#subnav li a.highlight').removeClass('highlight'); //remove class in all links
$(this).addClass('highlight'); //add class in current link
});
});
$(function(){}); is the shortcut to $(document).ready(function() {});
I hope this help.

lets dont forget about find('a') output is array
Try this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#subnav li a').click(function(){
$(this).addClass('highlight');
$(this).parent().siblings('li').find('a').each(function(){
$(this).removeClass('highlight');
});
});
});

Add/Remove classes and using Cookie to remember selection

I have this simply piece of JQuery that toggle a class on anchor tags/links.
What I don't know is how do I make the class toggle or add/remove when the other links are clicked? Example: The class can only apply to the link that is click and cannot be on more than one at a time. That's where I am stuck. Well, I don't know how to do it.
Secondly how do I use the JQuery Cookie to keep the currently link active. I have downloaded the cookie extension.
Here is what I have done:
HTML:
<ul class="navbar">
<li>Link1</li>
<li>Link2</li>
<li>Link3</li>
</ul>
CSS:
.activeLink{
color: #930;
}
JQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.navbar li a').click(function(){
$(this).toggleClass('activeLink');
});
});
Thank you!!

Below is a solution that uses event propagation:
$(function() {
var $activeLink,
activeLinkHref = $.cookie('activeLinkHref'),
activeClass = 'activeLink';
$('.navbar').on('click', 'a', function() {
$activeLink && $activeLink.removeClass(activeClass);
$activeLink = $(this).addClass(activeClass);
$.cookie('activeLinkHref', $activeLink.attr('href'));
});
// If a cookie is found, activate the related link.
if (activeLinkHref)
$('.navbar a[href="' + activeLinkHref + '"]').click();
});​
Here's a demo (without the cookie functionality as JSFiddle lacks support).

Here is how I do it. It's a little simplistic, but it gets the job done without a lot of brain strain.
<ul class="navbar">
<li>Link1</li>
<li>Link2</li>
<li>Link3</li>
</ul>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.navbar li a').click(function(){
$('.navbar li a').css('color', 'black');
$(this).css('color', '#930');
});
});
</script>

looking for a cross browser solution to highlight tabs

I'm looking for a cross browser compatible solution to highlight tabs. On page load the first tab should highlight and on click of the other tabs, the first tab would unhighlight and the selected tab would highlight. Can't get this functionality working in same fashion in IE and Firefox at the same time. Any inputs on that?
Note: The below code works but when I click on any other link on the page, the focus on the tabs is lost and hence the currently selected tab is not highlighted.
JS
$(document).ready(function () {
activate('focusmeplease');
$('#tabs ul li:first').addClass('active');
$('#tabs ul li a').click(function () {
$('#tabs ul li').removeClass('active');
$(this).parent().addClass('active');
});
});
function activate(link) {
if (document.getElementById) document.getElementById(link).focus();
else if (document.all) document.all(link).focus();
}
HTML
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li class="clas" onclick="javascript: addPlayer('tab-1','1649028604001');">
First tab
</li>
<li class="clas" onclick="javascript: addPlayer('tab-1','1651558610001');">
Second tab
</li>
</ul>
<div id="tab-1"></div>
</div>

In your click event, just call the focus method. Like so:
$(document).ready(function () {
activate('focusmeplease');
$('#tabs ul li:first').addClass('active');
$('#tabs ul li a').click(function () {
$('#tabs ul li').removeClass('active');
$(this).parent().addClass('active');
$(this).focus(); //i've added this
});
});
See this Fiddle HERE

Finally this is the code that worked across browsers. I had to move the addPlayer function from the onClick action of the anchor tag to within the jQuery li click function.
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
addPlayer('tab-1', '1649028596001');//on page load, display this.
jQuery('#tabs ul li:first').addClass('active');
jQuery('#tabs ul li').click(function () {
addPlayer('tab-1', playerIdArray[jQuery(this).index()]);
jQuery('#tabs ul li').removeClass("active");
jQuery(this).addClass("active");
});
});
<ul>
<li class="class4" >Bond</li>
<li class="class5" >Stock</li>
</ul>
<div id="tab-1">
</div>
