Jquery active class nav links in .Net for non webpages - AbleCommerce

Question

I am working with the header component for a .net cart AbleCommerce. The active link effect will only be used in the header. I have a script that is working for all webpages, but it fails to apply to scriptlets. Ex. "About Us" is a webpage, the script functions as expected. "Home" is a default page that exists as a scriptlet (not a webpage created via admin) and teh script below fails.

I have tried several different variation of jquery and nvolicity (yuck!) with the same results described above. I tried using a full path url "http://wwwpage.aspx" instead of something like "~/page.aspx". I tried adding a reference to the ID within the links themselves.

There are only two header nav links that are non-webpages (again created as a webpage in the cart's admin) that I need to get this working for.

The script that works for webpages is:

<script type="text/javascript" src="../../../../js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js">
jQuery(function( $ ){
    $('a.next').click(function(){
        $('#nav_header a').removeClass('CurrentLink');
        var fragment = this.getAttribute('href');
        $('#nav_header a[href=' + fragment + ']').toggleClass('CurrentLink');
    });
});
</script>

Any thoughts, ideas or resources would be greatly appreciated. I know that this is probably not the ideal .net sort of solution, the approach is what is required of me. Trying to learn as fast as I can...

Thanks!! Julie

Problem maybe with your jquery path. Either use absolute path in src attribute or try using ~

src="~/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"
