jquery class selection

I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to properly select a class inside the menu.

It worked fine until I put the menu in a ul. Can anyone tell me what is going on and how to fix it?

Sure. The problem is that you're calling index on the link, which is a child of the li, and so will always only be the first child. You want the index of its parent instead.

That's pretty vague, but this is the concept if the child is nested:

$('.menu').find('.class')

Here’s a working version: http://jsfiddle.net/3hbk7/

var $menuelement = $('.demo ul').eq($(this).index());//find the matching nth element in the menu

…should’ve been:

var $menuelement = $('.demo ul').eq($(this).parent().index());//find the matching nth element in the menu
