Only one active div allowed using jQuery
<p>Let's say I have 3 divs each with class <code>item</code> and only one can have class <code>active</code> at a time.  For example:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;div class="item active"&gt;1&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="item"&gt;2&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="item"&gt;3&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I have a jQuery binding code that activates a div on the click event:</p>

<pre><code>$(document).ready(function () {
    $('.item').bind('click', function() {
        addClass('active');        
        // now I need to remove active class from the previous selected item
    });
});
</code></pre>

<p>What is the best way of doing the housekeeping where I would remove the active class from any other div that may be active?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance. </p>
