jQuery: unrecognized expression
37,440
Try this instead:
$('a[href="'+ page +'"]').addClass('selected');
(You need to escape the value of the href
– with this, you get a[href="#/page/link"]
.)

$(document).ready(function(){ var page = window.location.hash; if(page != ""){ $('a[href='+ page +']').addclass('selected'); pageload(page.replace('#/page/', 'pages/?load=')); } $('#top a').click(function(event){ $('#top a').removeClass('selected'); $(this).addClass('selected'); pageload($(this).attr('href').replace('#/page/', 'pages/?load=')); event.preventDefault; }); });
<div id="top"> <a href="#/page/link">Link</a> <a href="#/page/link">Link</a> <a href="#/page/link">Link</a> <a href="#/page/link">Link</a> <a href="#/page/link">Link</a> </div>
So when i'm trying to do this, and load up a page using the
window.location.hash
, i get an error in the console saying:Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [href=#/page/link]
How can i make this work?

Thew about 12 yearsAh, the C in addClass needed to be capital, stupid me. Thanks!

Jeffz almost 12 yearsgood call - starting from jQ 1.5 url needs to be wrapped into something, e.g. href="my/url/" -- href=my/url/ will not go through anymore
