Hello guys,

Wanted to know if someone can help me out on this problem.

I have a series of unordered lists and among them I am calling a series of page titles. Here let me include my code:

<?php if(is_page()){ ?>
  <div id="subnav">
    <ul id="bullets">
      <li><a href="http://www.ifcj.org/site/PageNavigator/sfi_about" class="about"><span>About Israel</span></a></li>
      <li><a href="http://www.ifcj.org/site/PageNavigator/sfi_news" class="news"><span>News & Blog</span></a></li>
      <li class="current_page_ancestor"><a href="http://www.ifcj.org/site/PageNavigator/sfi_issues" class="issues"><span>Issues</span></a>
        <ul id="bullets2">
        	<?php wp_list_pages("orderby=name&order=ASC&child_of=205&title_li="); ?>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li><a href="http://www.ifcj.org/site/PageNavigator/sfi_takeaction" class="takeaction"><span>Take Action Now</span></a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
<?php } else { ?>

What I would like to do is add a class of "active_page" to the links that get generated by : <?php wp_list_pages("orderby=name&order=ASC&child_of=205&title_li="); ?>

I have tried jQuery but for some reason the class does not get applied to the a tag.

This is my jQuery code.

$("ul#bullets2 li.current_page_item a").addClass("active_page");

Anyone have any other ideas as to how I can do this.

Thanks

Why do you not just style .current_page_item?

Can you post up the HTML Source that's produced from your wp_list_pages so we can check the jQuery

Here is the jQuery that I have:

$("ul#bullets2 li.current_page_item a").addClass("active_page");

The problem is that in IE7 when "Peacekeeping" is selected all other
