background image active link without menumanager

[lepoticum]

My navigation in my site is set us using a 'global content block'. it is composed of only background images which flips to a different image when hovered on. my problem is i dont know how to set an active link for these background image as im not using the 'menumanager' at all as there is no  .menuactive

hope that made sense. am i being stupid and there is a really simple way around this?

Please look here
