I use a combination of id's on my links in my menu with a class on my body tag 
like this:

<body class="home">  <!-- change this class to match the page you are on -->
        <ul>
                <li><a href="#" id="home">Home</a></li>
                <li><a href="#" id="aboutus">About Us</a></li>
                <li><a href="#" id="contactus">Contact Us</a></li>
        </ul>
</body>

And I make a css entry in my stylesheet to handle all the active pages:

.home #home,
.aboutus #aboutus,
.contactus #contactus
{
        /* active page css here */
}
