How do I change the html element <li>'s color with a click via jQuery?
<p>How to change the background color of UL 'li' on click?</p>

<p>EDIT
i can change li "a" but what about the entire <strong>li</strong></p>

<p>this works:</p>

<pre><code> $(".clickableUL").click(function() {
           $(this).find("li a").addClass("active");

       });
</code></pre>

<p>but find("li") does nothing. I want the LI highlighted not just the text of the link.</p>
