Navigation buttons, active button not identified...

At http://datapassion.net/ after clicking on a navigation button, it navigates to the desired page okay but it fails to keep the active button identified (lighter backgound and black font). So that user will know what page is at display.

Here is the CSS file:
html{background : rgb(244,244,244)  
    url(../images/html.png) repeat-x;
}
body{
    font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";
    color : #5a1c46; 
    margin:0;
    padding-top: 30px; 
     /*font-size:90%; */
	color:rgb(89,89,89);	
	background : url(../images/body.png) repeat-x; 
}
.content
{
   margin: 0 auto;
   padding-left: 0px;
   padding-bottom: 0px;
   width: 1065px;/* 866px*/
    height:1080px; /* to be removed*/
   
}

.center1{text-align:center;}



.wrapper
{
   margin: 0 auto auto 10em;
   padding-top: 35px;
   padding-left: 50px;
   padding-bottom: 35px;
   width: 880px;/* 866px*/
   /* height:1080px;  to be removed*/
   background-color:white;
  
   -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px 4px rgba(119, 119, 119, 0.75);
   -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px 4px rgba(119, 119, 119, 0.75);

(lighter backgound and black font)
First I don't see any class defined as above.

Secondly, if you are talking about .btn-group-vertical .current class, then
...
.btn-group-vertical .current a:hover
{
	/*background-color: #123456; c000000*/
	color: #FFFFFF;
	font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
}
/*
.btn-group-vertical .current a, .btn-group-vertical .current a:link
{
	display: block;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	background-color:#660000;
	width: 6em;
	padding: .2em .2em;
	text-decoration: none
};*/
...

Open in new window


should be changed to
...
.btn-group-vertical a.current:hover
{
	/*background-color: #123456; c000000*/
	color: #FFFFFF;
	font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
}
/*
.btn-group-vertical a.current, .btn-group-vertical a.current:link
{
	display: block;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	background-color:#660000;
	width: 6em;
	padding: .2em .2em;
	text-decoration: none
};*/
...

re:> I don't see any class defined as above...

I didn't mean to say "lighter background and black font" are classes, they were just example description of what I was expecting to take place.

I changed (in my desktop version)
/*.btn-group-vertical .current a:hover*/
.btn-group-vertical a.current, .btn-group-vertical a.current:link
{
	/*background-color: #123456; c000000*/
	color: #FFFFFF;
	font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
}

but it didn't help. I am not able to have the selected button identified. There was not difference between the code I had and the one you suggested,
