Doing it with style
For those of you who have asked for the previous version but with a default tab open on page entry, then this is one way to do it.
Just add a current or selected id to the reqired page and then style this with the same styling as the :hover. I have made the border color darker so that when hovering over the other tabs it does not get confused with a :hover tab.
Because of all the time and effort spent in producing this demonstration I would ask that you respect my copyright.
