 * Please see my partial build at [http://www.bobtema.com/staging/](http://www.bobtema.com/staging/)
 * I don’t understand how to control the active or current state of navigation. 
   I want navigation links to have the same background style when you click on it,
   but just have the color of the text change. Right now, when you click on a link
   the background treatment goes away and it’s just a text link.
 * Please advise

       .menu li a:link, #mainMenu li a:visited {
       -moz-border-radius:10px 10px 10px 10px;
       background-color:#E96F35;
