Typically, to code links in CSS you'd use colons after the "a", and in LVHA (link, visited, hover, active) order. For example,
#tabmenu a:link {
whatever
}#tabmenu a:visited {
whatever
}#tabmenu a:hover {
whatever
}#tabmenu a:active {
whatever
}The a:active will be what determines how the link looks when a user is on that page.
It looks like you were trying to define classes for the links? The colon is used with pseudoclasses as in the info I gave you above.

Isabel,
Forgive me, but could you please clarify your suggestion? I tried moving the #tabmenu a.active code up one, but it didn't do anything. I'm really a newbie with CSS, so please bear with me.
