I'm working on creating a top Navigation that has 6 Buttons along the top.
Home - Account - FAQs - Tips - Forum - Contact.

Each of the buttons are PNG images. The original image displayed is Orange. When hovered over, it turns Blue.
I now need to figure out how to keep one of the buttons Blue IF on that current page. So for example:

The user is on the Home page. This "Home" button should be the blue image while on the page.

You can see the example page I'm working on here:

And my code here:
-- HTML below --
