jQuery: addClass at onclick

[lauthiamkok]

Hi,
I would like to add a class to the <li> or <a> tag when a particular link is clicked. This is the html,

<ul>
            <li><a href="#" onclick="loadPage('1.php'); return false;">1</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">2</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">3</a></li>
</ul>

jquey's ajax,

function loadPage(parameter) {
this.addClass('current');
$("#content").html('<div id="ajaxloader"><p><img src="img_iconies/loader_0.gif"/> loading...</p></div>');
$("#content").load( "incl_contents/" + parameter, {}, function(){ //calling the ajax then with a callback afterwards
 	$("#content").css({display:'none'})
	.fadeIn("slow");
 	});
}

it works fine until i put this line in,

this.addClass('current');

I think it is probably it is incorrect the way i try to add the class to the link.

Many thanks if u have any ideas.

Have you tested it?

That should work, and add the class to the anchor.
