Having a 'live' page to see this on would help in getting cogent 
answers.  Having said that, the css active pseudo-class is only 
available (as you have discovered) while it is the 'active' link.  
Usually, clicking on a link forces a page reload, so it's not something 
people think about a lot.  If clicking the link doesn't change pages, 
you will have to use classes and a small snippet of javascript to set 
the className as appropriate.  If you need to go down this road, 
contact me off-list and I'll be glad to help.
