How To Make Li Active When The Code Of The List Is Reusable In Other File

I am having a list which is reused in other webpage so i included it in one file and require the same in other webpage where required I want to make them active for example if MY R

Solution 1:

If you want the active to stay, you COULD use sessionStorage, but why not just ajax the page

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#nav a").on("click", function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    // remove classes from all
    $("#nav li").removeClass("active");
    // add class to the one we clicked
    $(this).closest("li").addClass("active");
    $("#content").load(this.href);
  }).eq(0).click();
});

.active {
  background-color: yellow;
}
