You appear to be using php, I suggest you go ahead and put it to work.
You will still need a style class for the current link, that will fit nicely
in your current style sheet.
The menu.php could look something like this:
<?php
$PHP_SELF = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];;
$navLinks = Array(
'home'=>'/temp/prev12~.php',
'our approach'=>'/approach.php',
'products & services'=>'/products.php',
'gallery'=>'/gallery.php',
'prices'=>'/prices.php',
'booking'=>'/booking.php',
'contact'=>'/contact.php',
'links'=>'links.php'
);
?>
<div id="navbar">
<ul id="navlist">
<?php
foreach ($navLinks as $key => $value) {
$class=($PHP_SELF==$value)?' class="current"':'';
echo chr(9).'<li><a href="'.$value.'"'.$class.'>'.$key.'</a></li>'.chr(10);
}
?>
</ul>
</div>
