Setting a menu item to "selected"

[eluser]Myles Wakeham[/eluser]
Since its really a user interface issue, and not something that the back-end server will have that much to deal with, have you tried using jQuery or some front-end code facilities to do this? I've been using a Tab menu style that uses CSS and list items with a simple "selected" property to show the last one selected, and it works well. But I know there are better ways in the jQuery UI library, or plug-ins for this sort of thing...
