Lets say I have a nav with 4 items that are blue. If I click on one, I want it to turn red and stay red to reflect that Im looking at content in that area. If I click another nav item, the previous turns back to blue while the newly selected one turns red.

I started to write a function and define a variable but I would like to see an example. Does anyone have one they can post?
