jquery.activate.js is a simple plugin for jQuery to handle the repetitive task of assigning event handlers that activate an element by assigning a CSS class.
$('#navigation > li').activate();
// => if you click one of the li's it will be activated; behaves like check boxes on subsequent clicks
$('#navigation > li').activate({ mode: 'toggle' });
// => same as above
$('#navigation > li').activate({ mode: 'once' });
// => if you click one of the li's it will be activated; subsequent clicks will be ignored
$('#navigation > li').activate({ mode: 'radio' });
// => if you click one of the li's it will be activated; behaves like radio buttons on subsequent clicks
Additionally, you can define callbacks activate and deactivate that will
be applied to each element when it becomes active or inactive (this will
point to the extended element).
For more examples, take a look at the specs at spec/javascripts/activate_spec.js.
