My menu shows the active links when clicked on it except for the home link (http://www.obsia.com). It is never highlighted. I tried playing around but I can't seem to figure it out. This is the jquery code I used to highlight the links?

 $(function(){
   var path = location.pathname.substring(1);
   if ( path )
     $('.nav a[href$="' + path + '"]').attr('class', 'active');   
 });

I also have another menu on the products pages where I would like to highlight the parents of the siblings and the our products on the global menu. This is the jquery code for the products menu:

 $(function() {
var pathname = location.pathname;
var highlight;
//highlight home
if(pathname == "")
    highlight = $('ul#accordion > li:first > a:first');
else {
    var path = pathname.substring(1);
    if (path)
        highlight = $('ul#accordion a[href$="' + path + '"]');
}highlight.attr('class', 'active');



// hide 2nd, 3rd, ... level menus
$('ul#accordion ul').hide();

// show child menu on click
$('ul#accordion > li > a.product_menu').click(function() {
    //minor improvement
    $(this).siblings('ul').toggle("slow");
    return false;
});

//open to current group (highlighted link) by show all parent ul's
$('a.active').parents('ul').show();
$('a.active').parents('h2 a').css({'color':'#ff8833'});

//if you only have a 2 level deep navigation you could
//use this instead
//$('a.selected').parents("ul").eq(0).show();

}); });

I tried adding this:

        $(this).parents('ul').addClass('active');

but that does not seem to do the trick?

Does anybody have a simple way of accomplishing it? Any help would be appreciated from you guys.

Kind Regards, G
