java script menu problem

[vizz]

Following is my code of menus which i include on each page like this,

<?php include('menu.php');?>

<script type="text/javascript"  language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('ul#navlist a').click(function() {

$('#navlist .active').removeClass('active');
$(this).parent().addClass('active');
var linkz = $(this).attr("href");
alert(linkz);
return false;
});
});
</script>

<ul id="navlist">
  <li class="active"><a href="index.php"><span>Home</span></a></li>						
  <li><a href="portfolio.php"><span>Our Work</span></a></li>
  <li><a href="services.php"><span>Services</span></a></li>
  <li><a href="request.php"><span>Submit Project</span></a></li>
  <li><a href="contact.php"><span>Contact</span></a></li>
  <li><a href="about.php"><span>About</span></a></li>
</ul>

While selecting menus to move on another page my function removes and adds class to <li>.
But I'm not able to redirect on page related with that menu. var linkz shows the value of active link. How to redirect to page shown in var linkz?

( if you select Home then var linkz=index.php
if you select About then var linkz=about.php and class="active" will removed from Home and will added to About )

Hi Vizz, return false from the click handler suppresses the natural hyperlink action of the clicked <a>. Try removing the statement or returning true.

Most people do this sort of thing with CSS. #navlist a:active {...} will style the clicked link but only while mouse is down.

What you are doing is 100% valid but is it generally not considered important because the page will very shortly be replaced anyway. Would be good for users with slow connections though.
