Target Active Element in Slick Carousel





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

Hey guys I cant seem to find a solution on targeting the active element in a slick carousel. All I'm wanting to do is add a style to the active element clicked.



I've tried






.slick-active { background: lightgray;}
.slick-active + .slick-active { background: white; }

.slick-active:nthchild(1){}
.slick-active:nth-type-of(1){}
.slick-active:first-type-of{}
}





The first option worked if the slide contained a few elements but I don't want to have to hard code that for every element added.



If I use .slick-active{} it will target all elements showing.



Any ideas? I am using slick carousel.

          Yes, .slick-active is applied to all current slick elements that are visible in your carousel, the class that you're looking for the currently selected element is .slick-current



          Your rule would be:



          .slick-slide               { background: white;}
          .slick-slide.slick-current { background: lightgray;}


          Here's a working example below, click on the blue Run code snippet button on the bottom to see it in action.






          $('#slider').slick({
          infinite: true,
          slidesToShow: 3,
          centerMode: true,
          slidesToScroll: 1
          });

          h1 {
          text-align: center;
          color: red;
          margin: 0;
          }
          .slick-slide {
          background-color: white;
          }
          .slick-slide.slick-current h1 {
          background-color: lightgray;
          }
