setting active class and removing it from all others

Question

I\'ve got a couple of divs to scroll between. I need to set the one in active view (after a link was clicked) to \'active\' and all the other div\'s should have that class r

Answer 1

why not just use addClass and removeClass:

$(".selected").removeClass("selected"); 
$(this).addClass("selected");

to only remove selected from divs use this for the first line:

$("div.selected").removeClass("selected");
