Set active menu to current page by clicking any links outside nav menu

Both of the following codes are working.

$("li a").filter(function(){ return this.href == location.href.replace(/#.*/, ""); }).parents('nav ul li').addClass("selected");

and

var loc = window.location.href;
$("a").each(function() {
  if(this.href == loc) {
     $(this).parents('nav ul li').addClass('selected');
  }
});

But my problem is you can only add class to links inside nav. Clicking any links outside the div wont add any class. Please take a look on this url and click link outside nav1 or 2.

1. Which one do you recommend me to use?


2. How to set a default class to the first li(videos) using jquery when I click any links outside nav area?

Please help me on this. Thank you!
