Hmmm.. both solutions presented there are huge and tedious in comparison to the seemingly simple task :(

Both of those seem relatively straight forward. Do you not like the hard-coding?

Would a solution such as using jQuery to highlight the active tab work for you?

You could select the <a> that contains the href attribute that equals the current page, and add a class to the parent <li>.

This is the simplest solution I can think of.

You could probably do the same thing on the server side ... check the request, runat=server on the ul, and add a class to the correct li
