Add a class to the parent li of .active using raw javascript

[Steven Gardner]

Hi,

I want to add a class name to the parent li item of li a.active

I need to use raw javascript but I’m just starting out with javascript and this is taking me forever to work out.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Well try

var navlinks = document.getElementById('nav2').getElementsByTagName('a');

for (var i = 0; i < navlinks.length; i++) {

if(navlinks.className == 'active'){

navlinks.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.className = 'YOUR CLASS';

}

}

Hope it works, have no idea when i did somthing like that without jquery the last time ^^
