I'm bulding a UI designer using HTML, javascript where I need to highlight active node after clicking. But how that happens.

//highlight active node
$(this).css("border", "1px dotted red");
activatedNode=this;
activatedNodeStyle=$(this).css("border");
//restore/disable highlight
if(activatedNode!=null && activatedNodeStyle!=null)
$(activatedNode).css("border", activatedNodeStyle);

What I have tried:

Is it possible only using css or not?

It is not possible using on css you need some jquery or javascript help. Here is the sample code using HTML & Jquery.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function () {
$(".row").click(function () {
$(".row").removeClass("highlight");
$(this).addClass("highlight");
});
});

</script>
<style type="text/css">
.row {
float:left;
padding:10px 100px;
border:solid 1px #ccc;
margin: 0 10px;
}
.highlight {
border:solid 1px red;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>
<div class="row"></div>
<div class="row"></div>
<div class="row"></div>
</body>
</html>
