How do I use jquery to highlight the link when I click on it?

For example, when I click on the link class1_1, I want to make this link red (or another color).

Javascript:

$('.link').click(function() {
    if (!$(this).hasClass('hi')) {
        // If this link is not already highlighted, highlight it and make
        // sure other links of class .link are not highlighted.
        $('.hi').removeClass('hi');
        $(this).addClass('hi');
    }
});

css:

a.hi { color: red; }

html:

my text
that text
this text
