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

You need to select the li tags contained within the  edgetoedge class    edgetoedge only matches the one ul tag       edgetoedge li   removeClass  highlight
