Easy question I hope, Change CSS class for 'active' state
Hello! First post at here at codingforums, hoping someone could help me out with something. I'm trying to add the ability for this jquery script to show the active state by changing the class of an <li> within the html markup. The script is a javascript image slider, here is the code:

(function($) {
$.fn.easySlider = function(options){
// default configuration properties
var defaults = {
prevId: 'prevBtn',
prevText: 'Previous',
pagination: '#pag a',
nextId: 'nextBtn',
nextText: 'Next',
controlsShow: false,
controlsBefore: '',
controlsAfter: '',
controlsFade: true,

};
var options = $.extend(defaults, options);
this.each(function() {
var obj = $(this);
var s = $("li", obj).length;
var w = $("li", obj).width();
var h = $("li", obj).height();
obj.width(w);
obj.height(h);
obj.css("overflow","hidden");
var ts = s-1;
var t = 0;
$("ul", obj).css('width',s*w);
if(!options.vertical) $("li", obj).css('float','left');
if(options.controlsShow){
var html = options.controlsBefore;
if(options.firstShow) html += '<span id="'+ options.firstId +'"><a href=\"javascript:void(0);\">'+ options.firstText +'</a></span>';
html += ' <span id="'+ options.prevId +'"><a href=\"javascript:void(0);\">'+ options.prevText +'</a></span>';
html += ' <span id="'+ options.nextId +'"><a href=\"javascript:void(0);\">'+ options.nextText +'</a></span>';

$(obj).after(html);

$("a","#"+options.nextId).click(function(){
animate("next",true);
});
$("a","#"+options.prevId).click(function(){
animate("prev",true);
});
$("a","#"+options.firstId).click(function(){
animate("first",true);
});
$("a","#"+options.lastId).click(function(){
animate("last",true);
});
$(options.pagination).each(function(i){
$(this).bind('click', i, function(e){
e.preventDefault();
if (i > t) {
t = i-1;
animate('next', true);
}
else if (i < t) {
t = i+1;
animate('prev', true);
}
});
});
function animate(dir,clicked){
var ot = t;
switch(dir){
case "next":
t = (ot>=ts) ? (options.continuous ? 0 : ts) : t+1;
break;
case "prev":
t = (t<=0) ? (options.continuous ? ts : 0) : t-1;
break;
case "first":
t = 0;
break;
case "last":
t = ts;
break;
default:
break;
};
var diff = Math.abs(ot-t);
var speed = diff*options.speed;
if(!options.vertical) {
p = (t*w*-1);
$("ul",obj).animate(
{ marginLeft: p },
speed
);
} else {
p = (t*h*-1);
$("ul",obj).animate(
{ marginTop: p },
speed
);
};
if(!options.continuous && options.controlsFade){
if(t==ts){
$("a","#"+options.nextId).hide();
$("a","#"+options.lastId).hide();
} else {
$("a","#"+options.nextId).show();
$("a","#"+options.lastId).show();
};
if(t==0){
$("a","#"+options.prevId).hide();
$("a","#"+options.firstId).hide();
} else {
$("a","#"+options.prevId).show();
$("a","#"+options.firstId).show();
};
};
if(clicked) clearTimeout(timeout);
if(options.auto && dir=="next" && !clicked){;
timeout = setTimeout(function(){
animate("next",false);
},diff*options.speed+options.pause);
};
};
// init
var timeout;
if(options.auto){;
timeout = setTimeout(function(){
animate("next",false);
},options.pause);
};
if(!options.continuous && options.controlsFade){
$("a","#"+options.prevId).hide();
$("a","#"+options.firstId).hide();

});
};
function showAllImgs() {
var obj=document.getElementsByTagName('li'), o, i=0;
while( o = obj[i++] ) {
o.style.display='block';
} // end while
} // end showAllImgs
})(jQuery);
So basically, I want the active 'page' or image it is on to change the li class in the markup, as in 'class="active"'
The pagination nav bit of the JS in the script is
Code:
$(options.pagination).each(function(i){
$(this).bind('click', i, function(e){
e.preventDefault();
if (i > t) {
t = i-1;
animate('next', true);
}
else if (i < t) {
t = i+1;
animate('prev', true);
}
});
});
So how can I add in functionality to change the <li> html markup depending on what image it is currently on?
I'm a huge novice when it comes to this stuff, any chance you could show me specifically how to implement that? Thanks for the help either way, much appreciated. -- Also, would that be able to change the class of the <li> even if there is no click? For example it rotates through the images on its own, and I'd like the css class of the pagination <li> to change along with it. So the user knows which slide they are viewing.
Wow, how did I miss that? Or he must of just released it since I just grabbed it from there a couple days ago. Thanks so much for pointing out the obvious to me =)
