jQuery problem

Hi there!

There's a lot of talented web developers on here and I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem I'm having?

I have a menu that works using list items. With the CSS I've got it setup so they appear in the sidebar. When a parent list item is clicked, it shows the child items.

Now, I can get them to stay highlighted, but when I click a child item, the parent goes un-highlighted. I've tried everything I can think of and nothing seems to work. Does anyone here have any ideas?

I need the functionality to be similar to the icloud help site (check the help link in the footer).

Here is the code below (responsible for the highlighting):

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {

jQuery.fx.off = true;

$('#nav li a').click(function(){
$(this).next().slideToggle("fast");
$('#nav li ul li').removeClass( "selected" );
$('#nav li a').removeClass( "selected" );
/*$(this).addClass( "selected" );*/

if($(this).hasClass('selected')){
 $(this).removeClass('selected');
 }else{
 $(this).addClass('selected');
 }


});

 $( "#nav li ul li a" ).click( function() {
 $( this ).parent( "li" )
 .addClass( "selected" )
.siblings( ".selected" )
.removeClass( "selected" );

 });

});
</script>

And here is the actual page code in full:
