Answer 1

^^ same as above comment by Rory!!

, if you still need you can do

$("#navi a").live("click", function(){
  $("#navi a").removeClass("active");
  $(this).addClass("active")
});

If you have all the links pointing to a same page above solution works, as i see you going to traverse from one page to another this wont work.

Thanks

Your description is not very clear. By active if you mean the list-item you are hovering on then it should be something like this:

$('a.menu').hover(

function () {
    $(this).addClass("active");
},

function () {
    $('a.menu').removeClass("active");
});

Try this

<ul id="navi">
    <li><a class="menu" href="#">About MHG</a></li>
    <li><a class="menu" href="#">Workout Programs</a></li>
    <li><a class="menu" href="#">Fitness Tips</a></li>
    <li><a class="menu" href="#">Contact Us</a></li>          
    <li><a class="menu" href="#">Read Our Blog</a></li>
  </ul>

jquery

$('a.menu').click(function(){
    $('a.menu').removeClass("active");
    $(this).addClass("active");
});

This method will check the page URL that the user is visiting, then add the active class in <li> tag.

HTML

<div id="nav">
    <ul>
        <li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="about.php">About</a></li>
        <li><a href="member.php">Member</a></li>
        <li><a href="project.php">Project</a></li>
        <li><a href="activity.php">Activity</a></li>
    </ul>
</div>

JS

var setActive = function () {

    // Get the last item in the path (e.g. index.php)
    let url = window.location.pathname.split('/').pop();

    // Add active nav class based on url
    $("#nav ul li a").each(function () {
        if ($(this).attr("href") == url || $(this).attr("href") == '') {
            $(this).closest('li').addClass("active");
        }
    })

    // Add the active class into Home if user omit index.php from url
    if (url == '') {
        $("#nav ul li").eq(0).addClass("active");
    }
};

$(function () {
    setActive();
});
