         <ul>            
            <li id="db" onclick="loadSlide('db_content')">Database</li>                
            <li id="xp" onclick="loadSlide('xp_content')">Xpath</li>
            <li id="con" onclick="loadSlide('con_content')">Controller</li>
        </ul>

This is the code and I want to add active class.

Please note that there is no a tag.

Now how can I add active class to li

Thanks in advance

I think this is more relative and reliable.

$('ul li').click(function(){
  $(this).addClass('someClassName');
})

Actually I didnt understand that what do you mean with active class but you can use this for adding class to an element

$('li').addClass('someClassName');

according to your comment earlier:

   $("ul li").click(function() {
        $(this).siblings().removeClass('activeClass');
        $(this).addClass('activeClass');
   });

and define the style in someClass.
