John,
Forgive me, I should explain myself better.
By moving the priority up I meant increasing the priority of the rule, and that is specifying it more deeply.
I really do not know if that is what's happening, but if it is, increasing the specificity of the rule will increase its priority.
So instead of telling the browser:
#tabmenu a.active {
...
}
I would try
#tabmenu li a.active {
...
}
or something of the king.
The rule is the same, just more specific, so it will overrule the rule for #tabmenu a:link or anyother rule for #tabmenu a
I really didn't find any other reason for this to be happening (And in fact, it is happening in IE 6.0 sp2, Mozilla 1.8a, Netscape 7.1, Firefox 1.0 and Opera 7.5), althought I might have overlooked something.

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.

Try moving up the priority of the css rule for your active link. I believe making #tabmenu li a.active { ... } shall work, but I didn't teste it.
