highlighted tab for dynamic menu // xcart

[arwvisions]

let me start by saying Im pretty much a n00b and any help is greatly appreciated.

 

I am using xcart which allows for the admin to assign dynamic speed bar menu items.

 

I want the menu tab for the current page to be a different color that the other links.  similar to the menu on this site.

 

I figured I could use some javascript to store which link was clicked then match that to the code outputted by the smarty below.  My question is how do I capture which link was clicked then recall and compare it to the links outputted later.

 

the smarty code is below.

 

{if $speed_bar}
							<td valign="middle" align="right">
								<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="right">
									<tr>
									{section name=sb loop=$speed_bar}
									{if $speed_bar[sb].active eq "Y"}

										 	<td valign="middle" height="25px"><div>{include file="customer/tab.tpl" tab_title="<a href=\"`$speed_bar[sb].link`\">`$speed_bar[sb].title`</a>"}</div></td>
									  	

									{/if}
									{/section}
									</tr>
								</table>
							</td>
					{/if}
