Hi,

You may do this by manually, that means you needs to use to classes(css) to differentiate active and inactive a tag ,

CSS

.active
{
color:red;
/* use any style to highlight *\
}

.inactive
{
color:black;
}

while clicking in a tag first remove the class property of all a tag

JavaScript

$( "a" ).removeClass("active inactive" );

then add class to particular clicked a tag by

JavaScript

$( "#a_clickedid" ).addClass("active" );

Thanks

i found no mistakes in your code , make sure that the css class 'active' and its definition is included in your page..
and the active css class must have the properties to differentiate it from inactive elements..
