   Hi!

   I am trying to use javascript to make a page entitled Projects "active" when on each the single post page.

   I am placing this code on the top of the single.php before it gets the header (which includes the project link).

   <script>
   jQuery(document).ready(function(){
   $("#menu-item-19").children("a").addClass("current_page_item");
   });
   </script>

   Where #menu-item-19 is the id of the li that includes the link to the projects page.

   Any idea why the link isn't getting the class "current_page_item"?

   Thanks in advance!

   It should work. WordPress applies the class to the "li" though, rather than the "a", so perhaps that's where the conufsion was.

   $('#menu-item-19').addClass('current_page_item');
