Question

If I have 5 links. When first, if I click on a link, it should change to a different color, and then if I click on a link to another link, the color of the previous link should go to the default value, and that color of the link should change

THE CODE:

     $(this).toggleClass('class1'); / 
}); 

a.class1 { color:#000000; } 

<table id="menu"> 
<tr>

HTML

<div id="links">
    <a href="#">link1</a>
    <a href="#">link2</a>
    <a href="#">link3</a>
    <a href="#">link4</a>
    <a href="#">link5</a>
</div>

Javascript

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#links a').click(function(){
        $(this).addClass('selected');
        $(this).siblings().removeClass('selected');
    });
})

CSS

a {
    color: darkgreen;   
}


.selected {
     color: red;   
}

Answer 2

Classes.

CSS

a {
    color: green;
}
a.special {
    color: orange;
}

JavaScript:

$('a').click(function(evt) {
    evt.preventDefault(); //don't follow link
    //remove the special class from all links which already have it
    $('a.special').removeClass('special');
    //add the special classs to the clicked link
    $(this).addClass('special');
}

Of course you have to change the selector according to your html.
