Not directly. At least, not CSS by itself. What you have to do first is give
the highlighted section a special class or id to set it apart from the
others.
<a href="about.html">About Us</a> |
<a href="services.html" class="highlight">Our Services</a>
If you're using includes, you'll have to use server-side logic (ASP, PHP) to
dynamically add this class in. Otherwise you can hardcode it into each page.
Now, you can use CSS to style that class.
a.highlight {
background-color: #ff0;
color: #c00;
font-size: 1.5em;
}
CSS alone can't do it without that identifier being there.
