                               <ul>
                              <li class = "cat1">
                                  <a href="#">Jahr</a>
                              </li>
                              <li class = "cat2">
                                  <a href="#">Monat</a>
                                  <ul>
                                      <li><a href="#">Januar</a></li>
                                      <li><a href="#">Februar</a></li>
                                      <li><a href="#">März</a></li>

                              </li>
                              <li class = "catParty">

but the problem is, that i want to stay the button in red color after i clicked on it and that its switching back in grey after I clicked it again. It this realizable with css and can I check the button state to filter the maincontent?

regards

Answer 1

Sadly CSS does not have an onclick function the best you could hope for in CSS is :active but once you release the mouse button everything goes back to its original state. This is an example of the :active in action

<div id="button">
</div>

#button{
width:150px;
height:50px;
margin:50px auto;
background:#555;
}
#button:active{
background:#f00;
}

You can do it with jquery :-

 $('#nav li').on('click', function() { $(this).toggleClass("active"); $(this).siblings().removeClass("active"); }); 

Add following css :-

 #nav li.active{ background: red !important; }
