   Is there a way to compare the current location of the browser to a string?
   I have a link that I want to style differently if you are currently on that page. The page in question is a category page so the normal get_post_uri() won't work.

   <li class="<?php if ($custom_menu['url'] == /*current URI*/) echo 'current_page_item'; ?>">
   <a href="<?php echo $custom_menu['url']; ?>">
   <?php _e($custom_menu['label'],TEMPLATE_DOMAIN); ?>
   </a>
   </li>

   ok I've narrowed it down because wp_list_categories() does what I want, it highlights the the current category using
   $r['current_category'] = $wp_query->get_queried_object_id();

   I just can't figure out how it does it, I've been digging through source code and just can't find what I'm looking for.
