The main problem with that is you've normally got to add several
domains: your test server(s) (i uses aliases for localhost along with
apache named vhosts), mysite.com, and www.mysite.com. It's easy to
forget to add one of them.

That's a good trick - i wasn't aware of 'location'. So the modified
code looks like:
var loc = location.pathname;
var sel = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]"'+loc+'"]';
$(sel).css('background-color','#004040')
.css('color','#fff')
.css('font-style', 'italic')
.css('text-decoration', 'none');
Or, if you're a space-saving fanatic:
$('[EMAIL PROTECTED]"'+location.pathname+'"]').css(...);
That can ALMOST be done in plain CSS, without the JS scaffolding.
