Select specific anchor link with jQuery

globulin

I have a menu structure like this:

<ul class="menu">
    <li class="parent">
        <a class="menu-link" href="http://url.com/#Id">Id</a>
    </li>
    <li class="parent">
        <a class="menu-link" href="http://url.com/#Id">Id</a>
    </li>
</ul>

and the English version, where the menu looks like this:

<ul class="menu">
    <li class="parent">
        <a class="menu-link" href="http://url.com/en/#Id">Id</a>
    </li>
    <li class="parent">
        <a class="menu-link" href="http://url.com/en/#Id">Id</a>
    </li>
</ul>

Using scrollspy, I'm detecting which part of the page is currently visible. So I can get the ID part of the anchor link. Now how do I choose a specific anchor link?

I tried this:

$('.menu').find(":contains('#" + this.id"')" ).addClass('active');

But it doesn't work (otherwise I wouldn't be here!).

:containsAs part of the check html()/ text()anchor tag, you need to use the hrefanchor tag's attribute selector like this

$('.menu').find("a[href*='#" + this.id + "']" ).addClass('active');
