Preserving link and default state using cookies

hello,

 

 

i not sure post re-design of forum; it's been while please forgive me if in wrong g place.

 

i have basic link wrapped in ul tag.

 

i using jquery give links color when clicked performing add/remove class function, link state preserved cookies if user returns page; shows tab viewing.

 

the problem is; single page , want set default link or tab; first one. not know how this.

 

this looking accomplished:

 

1. a user visits page , first link colored red (default)
2. if user clicks on link link becomes active , first link looses it's default status
3. when user returns first link nolonger default, whatever link user selected when first visited; that's because link rememberd using cookies.
4. the first link maintain default state if user deletes cookies or visits page first time.

 

here peice of jquery have used maintain selected state:

 

$(document).ready(function() {

    var idactive = $.cookie('cookieactive');

 

    if (idactive) {

        $('#'+idactive).addclass('activelink');

    }

 

    $('ul li a').click(function() {

        var id = $(this).attr('id');

 

        $("ul li a").removeclass("activelink");

        $(this).addclass("activelink");

        $.cookie('cookieactive', id);

        $.cookie('cookieactive', id, { expires: 10000});

    });

});

i assume jquery working way want it, , problem how set default.

 

in case, give default link id, such "default". add else clause conditional statement in jquery:

 

if (idactive) {

      $('#'+idactive).addclass('activelink');

} else {

      $('#default').addclass('activelink');

}
