Insert HTML inside if statement

I have list where I am inserting the image through jQuery.

$("#icon1").html('<img src="images/summary_icon_u.png"  />');

This is my list

<ul>
    <li data-menuanchor="firstPage" class="one">
        <a href="#firstPage" class="cmIcon" id="icon1"></a>
    </li>
    <li data-menuanchor="secondPage" class="two">
        <a href="#secondPage" class="cmIcon" id="icon2"></a>
    </li>
</ul>

I have few navigation list like this. When each list is clicked, an 'active' class is called on.

My need is when I click the list, if the list has class 'active' then it should append a html or else it should append another html.

This is my code below I tried but not working.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('li.one').click(function() {
        if ($(this).hasClass('active')) {
            $("#icon1").html('<img src="images/summary_icon_u.png" />');
        } else {
            $("#icon1").html('<img src="images/summary_icon_c.png" />');
        }
    });
    $('li.two').click(function() {
        if ($(this).hasClass('active')) {
            $("#icon2").html('<img src="images/audi_risk_u.png" />');
        } else {
            $("#icon2").html('<img src="images/audi_risk_c.png" />');
        }
    });
});

Thanks in advance.

You should add the active class to current clicked li.

$('li > a').click(function() {
    $('li').removeClass("active");
    if($(this).parent().hasClass('active')) {
        $(this).parent().addClass('active');
    }
    else {
        $(this).parent().removeClass('active'); 
    }
});

Now it will add the class 'active' on click of that item and removes the class 'active' when you click on the same li again.

As per your new requirement you can do this to store the icon source: 

<ul>
    <li data-menuanchor="firstPage" 
        data-imgsrc="summary_icon_c.png" 
        data-active-imgsrc="summary_icon_u.png" class="one">
        <a href="#firstPage" class="cmIcon" id="icon1"></a>
    </li>
    <li data-menuanchor="secondPage" 
        data-imgsrc="audi_risk_c.png" 
        data-active-imgsrc="audi_risk_u.png" class="two">
        <a href="#secondPage" class="cmIcon" id="icon2"></a>
    </li>
</ul>

You can use attribute selectors tag[attr] like this: 

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('li[menuanchor]').click(function() {
        var src = $(this).hasClass('active') 
                  ? $(this).data('activeImgsrc') 
                  : $(this).data('imgsrc');
        $("a", this).html('<img src="images/'+ src +'" />');
    });
});

You need to put your code in to a click handler for the li.one element. Try this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('li.one').click(function() {
        if ($(this).hasClass('active')) {
            $("#icon1").html('<img src="images/summary_icon_u.png" />');
        } else {
            $("#icon1").html('<img src="images/summary_icon_c.png" />');
        }
    });
});

Note that you can also shorten this code by using a ternary expression:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('li.one').click(function() {
        $("#icon1").html('<img src="images/summary_icon_' + ($(this).hasClass('active') ? 'u' : 'c') + '.png" />');
    });
});

Now that you've added your current HTML and JS code I can see that you can DRY up the code with a single event handler which traverses the DOM from the current li to find the related a element. Try this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('li').click(function() {
        $(this).find('a').html('<img src="images/summary_icon_' + ($(this).hasClass('active') ? 'u' : 'c') + '.png" />');
    });
});
