Using jQuery in XSLT

XSLT
Hi,

This may be more of a jQuery question but I am essentially using XSLT to try and do what I need to do!

Basically, I have an accordian menu which opens/ closes when you select an item and I want to be able to link to different accordian items from another page... So, I click a link and it takes me to the accordian page with the specific accordian item open - I have assigned each accordian item a unique id but I need to also update the class so that the item is open - this is where I am stuck!

My xslt is simple...
```
    <xsl:variable name="linkID" select="$currentPage/data [@alias = 'linkID']" />

    <xsl:if test="$currentPage/data [@alias = 'linkID'] != ''">
        <a href="/accordian.aspx?t=t{$linkID}" id="addclass">Read this Item</a>
    </xsl:if>
```
Now, I'm not too familiar with jQuery but I think I can do something similar to this...
```
    <![CDATA[
      $("#addClass").click(function () {
           $('li').addClass('activeacitem');
      });
      ]]>
```
What I am trying to achieve is that the <li> of the accordian item has a class of 'activeitem' added to it but this needs to pass through the link!

Sorry if this is a little confusing :)

Thanks,
Rach

Hi Rachel,

I've done something similar with jQuery, but hiding and opening DIV's created by the XSLT. My XSLT is this:

  <div id="our-brands-info-block">
    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/descendant::* [@isDoc]">
      <div id="{ucomponents.strings:StripWhitespace(@nodeName)}">

Then in jQuery:

if ($.QueryStringExist({ ID: "brand" })) {

              var bd = $.getQueryString({ ID: "brand" });

              $('#' + bd).trigger('click');

$("#amplify").click(function () {

              hideAll();

              $("#Amplify").fadeIn('fast');

              removeSelectedButton();

              addSelection(this);

});

That's it in a nutshell, but if you need me to expand further please say so.

Thanks Darryl, it looks a little advanced for me but I'll have a play around with your code and see what I can achieve! :)

No worries, Just to follow up - I'm using a jQuery plug-in (jQueryString) to read the querystring which triggers the open on the appropriate content.
