John,
1. You've got your selectors a bit mixed up, they should be:
#tabmenu .active a { ... } and
#tabmenu .active a:link { ... } etc
instead of
#tabmenu a.active { ... } and
#tabmenu a.active:link { ... } etc
Then, the border and background for #tabmenu a.active:link is overriding the
border and background for #tabmenu a.active.
If you change
#tabmenu a.active:link {
color: #000;
background: #fff;
font-size: 0.8em;
font-weight: normal;
border: 1px solid #69F;
padding: 2px;
margin: 2px;
text-decoration: none;
}
....to something like
#tabmenu .active a:link{
color: #000;
font-size: 0.8em;
font-weight: normal;
padding: 2px;
margin: 2px;
text-decoration: none;
}
...it should fix things. Works for me anyhow.
You could go one step further to reduce redundant markup:
#tabmenu .active a {
font-size: 0.8em;
font-weight: normal;
color: #000;
padding: 2px;
margin: 2px;
text-decoration: none;
z-index: 30;
}
#tabmenu .active a:link {
background: #ffc;
border-top: 1px solid #ffc;
}
#tabmenu .active a:hover {
background:#c60;
border-top: 1px solid #c60;
}

Subject: [WSG] IE problem with CSS tabs
Hello, Group.
I have a curious problem. I am creating this site with CSS tabs, and making
it so that the tab is "on" while visiting that page. Well, it works in
Firefox just fine, but in IE it's not...when on the server.
When viewing it on the local drive, it looks good.
