strange, i was fighting against a bit of code where the selector
engine would not want to behave as i expected.
Out of ideas, i tried using the freshly released jquery 1.3 beta 2 and
it turns out the engine now works as i expected!
here is the incriminated code:
var $thisLI = $('#' + UI.section);
if ($thisLI.length > 0)
{
var $thisMenu = $thisLI.parent();
var $thisA = $('a:first', $thisLI);
$('a.selected', $thisMenu).removeClass
('selected');
$thisA.addClass('selected');
var liIndex = $thisMenu.children('li').index
($thisLI[0]);
var newleft = 0 - (strataGrid.colWidth *
(liIndex + 1));
$thisLI.siblings().removeClass
('selected').addClass('notSelected');
$thisMenu.animate({ left: newleft }, 'slow',
function()
{
// this takes care of show/hiding menus
and submenus
$thisA.parents('li').removeClass
('notSelected').addClass('selected');
});
}
I think the culprit is
$thisLI.siblings().removeClass('selected').addClass('notSelected');
as the modified DOM shows the "selected" class also in children LI's
inside that UL branch,
