This might help. Create a css class "active" and set a background-color.

$(function() {
   $("li").click(function() {
      // remove existing class
      $("li").removeClass("active");
      // add class to the one we clicked
      $(this).addClass("active");
   });
});

$(".nav a").on("click", function(){
   $(".nav").find(".active").removeClass("active");
   $(this).parent().addClass("active");
});
