I have created a five button menu for a website. Each button has its own hover state created with mouseover. Each button links to a new page inside of an iframe. I have spent days trying to come up with a solution and I keep failing. I need a way to keep each button in its hover state when visiting each iframe page. I just want to make it easy for a person to look at the menu and be able to immediately see which page they are currently on. I have tried sprites, css, javascript and I'm completely lost.
From your OP I am assuming you are not using asp.net, which handles that sort of thing fairly easily. If you have php, take a look at this A List Apart article.
