How do you make a link to a page change color when you're on that page?

[polaris]

For instance, if I'm on the "services" page, the link on the top navigation named "services" should have a different color from the rest. I'm using php includes for the top navigation so all pages only share one top navigation.

I tried creating a class for each link and defining their a:link property on the css but the default links still don't change whenever I'm on a particular page. I tried changing their a:hover/a:active links and they work properly. The only time there is no change is when I use a:link.

Basically you would have inter page css for the link relative to that page. So if your on the contact page, you would put a css rule in the head section of that page, for that link. Hard to explain.

Here is a page I found that may explain better.
