Get tag inside this javascript

Question

I have below code

         $('li').click(function(e){ 
         e.preventDefault();
         $(this).addClass("active1");

     // $(this a).addClass("acolor");  // I am trying  this

});;

Anchor tag is inside li tag and on click of li I want to change color of a text - which is there in css in .acolor class

in this I am getting li, and I want to get a tag.

Any help will be appreciated !! Thanks

Use find() method.

$(this).find('a').addClass("acolor");

Or provide this as the context in the jQuery method.

$('a', this).addClass("acolor");

After adding this as active , how can I remove it once I click another li and remove from current li? – CodeWithCoffee Feb 09 '17 at 06:34
@CodeWithCoffee `$(this).sibling().find('a').removeClass("acolor");` – Pranav C Balan Feb 09 '17 at 06:40
