<div style="width: 80%;" align="left" >
<span style="display:inline-block;" align="left" >
<div id="menubar" class="grid-block">
<nav id="menu">
<ul class="menu menu-dropdown ">
<li class="level1 item101 active">
<a href="index.xhtml" class="level1">
<span>
<span class="icon" style="background-image: url('images/menu/icon_menu_home.png');background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top center">
</span>
Home
</span>
</a>
</li>
<li class="level1 item102 parent makeSpace default"
style="#{!PersonalInformationDataBean.pageViewData.contains('registerForPatentss') && !PersonalInformationDataBean.pageViewData.contains('success') && !PersonalInformationDataBean.pageViewData.contains('getReportss') && !PersonalInformationDataBean.pageViewData.contains('searhPatentss') ?'display:none':'display:inherit'};">
<a href="" class="level1 parent">

</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
</span>
</div>
This gives me output as below (its not same, but somewhat like this).
Home | Projects | Administrative
| |
| |
|- Men 1 |- Ad 1
|- Men 2 |- Ad 2
|- Men 3 |- Ad 3
Now what I want to do is
When Men 1 is selected, <li class="level1 item102 parent makeSpace default" should change to <li class="level1 item102 parent makeSpace active" i.e. take out default and take in active class.
When I click on Ad 2, <li class="level1 item102 parent makeSpace default" should change to <li class="level1 item102 parent makeSpace active"
Any idea how to get this done? I check online, however examples I get was for Level 0 menu.

Answer 1

See The demo
jQuery:
$("#menubar").on("click","li",function(e){
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
if($(this).hasClass("active"))
{
$(this).removeClass("active").addClass("default");
}
else
{
$(this).addClass("active").removeClass("default");
}
});

Answer 2

What I did is is below....
var myURL = window.location.toString();
var endIndex = myURL.lastIndexOf(".", myURL);
var startIndex = myURL.lastIndexOf("/")+1;
var pageAccessed = myURL.substr(startIndex, endIndex-startIndex);
if (pageAccessed=="successLoginss") {
$(".homemenu").addClass("active");
$(".homemenu").removeClass("default");
}
<li class="level1 item101 default homemenu">
<a href="index.xhtml" class="level1">
<span>
<span class="icon" style="background-image: url('images/menu/icon_menu_home.png');background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top center">
</span>
Home
</span>
</a>
</li>
Dats it..... I know this is not right way, but I had to get done this way....
