Styling Joomla 2.5 Active Menu Item

As the topic says, I would like to know how to I style the active menu item in Joomla 2.5. In Joomla 1.5 an .active class was added to the menu item so I was able to style it easily in the css. This does not work for Joomla 2.5. Has anyone figured out how to do this?

 

Use Firefug in your joomla template to see the active menu class.

 

Yeap - different template frameworks have different values. But it's generally something like

<style>
ul.menu li.active a{ }
</style>
