current tab not updating

[Doodayer]

i’m using jquery to update the look of my current tab, but it only works if i manually reload the page after i’ve visited it.

is it my jquery thats at fault?

if you are referring to the appropriate page / link being highlighted then that won’t work as you expect in Codepen as it’s just loading the same code (and thus link) over and over again.

You need to test in a live online environment with a couple of pages for it to work.

well yes i just used the codepen to show you the code. It won’t work on my local wamp server either.

Without a live link it’s going to be hard to help further.

However, this is the one I use

$(function(){
    var pathname = (window.location.pathname.match(/[^\/]+$/)[0]);

    $('nav ul li a').each(function() {
    if ($(this).attr('href') == pathname)
    {
        $(this).addClass('current');
    }
    });
});
