Given the list below.

 <         


        

Answer 1

This just removes the highlight class from everything that has the edgetoedge class:

$(".edgetoedge").removeClass("highlight");

I think you want this:

$(".edgetoedge .highlight").removeClass("highlight");

The .edgetoedge .highlight selector will choose everything that is a child of something with the edgetoedge class and has the highlight class.
