Thanks for your response, and my apologies for the double post.
So now, this is what I have, and for some reason, now I'm not able to
extract any values from the array of <a> tags, even with an alert.
Don't I need to loop through them to see if 'a === file'.
var file = jQuery.url.attr("file");
alert(file);
$('.design_html_nav li').each(function(){
var a = $(this).find('a').attr('href');
if(a.href===file){
a.addClass('selected');
}
});
cheers
