In the context of this question, there is only one meaning of the expression "selected": set of DOM objects (or rather jQuery wrappers) returned by jQuery selector expression.

Obviously, you mean something different, perhaps something which does not exist. If you meant what is selected by the selectors (in your case, old div elements which are children of the element with id="step_wrapper"), what you get would be what you expected, by definition. I don't understand why would you expect something else (you say, "all step_box1", but its not clear what it is).

It's quite possible that what you call "selected div only" simply does not exist. If you simulate UI concept of selection (such as selected menu item, which is not a predefined HTML concept, unlike, say, selected list element), you have to explain how you do it. In other words, define what is "selection" and you will get the solution. And if there is a strict criteria of "selection", the solution will be quite simple.

Solution 2

try this

$(function() { $( "#step_wrapper > div" ).click(function() { 
$( "#step_wrapper &gt; div" ).removeClass('active');
   $(this).addClass('active');
 });
});

in css
.active{background-color:red;}

As your code is unclear it looks like problem with selector you are using for "div" elements. You have to use proper selector and make sure that element is exist. Otherwise

JavaScript

.css("background-color":"red")

will apply to all "div" inside "#step_wrapper" or to nothing.

Add more detail to your code.
