Link Color [RESOLVED]

This is going to be a little confusing, try to bare with me.

I have a template file that I require at the top of every page.
Within the template file I have links (for various parts of the site).

Code:

---

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
a.top:link { color: white; text-decoration: none }
a.top:active { color: black; text-decoration: none }
a.top:visited { color: white; text-decoration: none }
a.top:hover { color: black; text-decoration: none }
</SCRIPT>

---

Above is the code I use to setup the link colors.
Now what I need to have happen is, once a link is clicked and the new page loads. I need to have the link of the current page stay black.

Only way I was able to do this is by putting the links on every page instead of the template.

Can anyone suggest how this can work?

Thanx!

Thanx, seemed to have resolved it on my own.
For anyone that might face a simliar situation:

PHP Code:

---

//I set a variable to the current page.
$currpage = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];  // is /page.php 


---

Then I while reading the page names from the DB, I compared it to the current page and set the font color to black when the page was the currpage.
