What I would do is...

In your View create a javascript variable like so.

Code:

var active = '<?php echo $active_page; ?>';

This sets the active page via your controller to whatever is stored in the php variable

Code:

$active_page

.

Now design your menu using a jquery plugin of your choice

And your done.
