I'm fairly sure that, while on index.html, <a
href="index.html">Frontpage</a> isn't "active". At least, not as far as the
:active pseudo-class goes.
a:active refers to the a element that is actively receiving a click event.
If you were to do:
<div id="menu">
<a href="index.cfm" class="active">Frontpage</a>
<a href="contact.html">Contact</a>
</div>
... then you could do $('#menu a.active')

wife. And I wish you my kind of success.
