Further to what Els said:

:active is not what you think it is. It is not the "current page", rather it
is the currently active link. That is, for example, when the mouse button is
currently pressed over the link, before the mouse button is released and the
link is activated, resulting in a get to the server for the href mentioned
in the link.

As Els implies, changing the colour of the "current" menu item is done
server side.
