jQuery
Say I have an unordered list like so:
<ul>
<li>Some Text</li>
<li>Some Text</li>
<li>Some Text</li>
<li>Some Text</li>
</ul>
I want to use jquery so that when I click a "li", the background changes to blue. So I do this:
    $('li').click(function() {
    $(this).addClass('active');
});
And the "active" class has as background of blue. However, I can't figure out how to make it so that when I click another "li", the other "li" that has a background of blue stops having a background of blue. I guess what I'm trying to say is how to make only one "li" have a background of blue at a time--using jquery.
