As is so cases... such a simple thing... but no simple answer.

How do you get a CSS built nav menu to indicate your current location? In
other words, if i've clicked on the "Home" menu item, how do i get it to show
me i'm on the Home page?

Thanks much... i've looked all over for this and found nada.

For an easy way to highlight the current menu item:

with both a free and a paid version.

Thanks for the info. Is the more common way of doing this thru server-side code or is it better in general not to rely on that?

If you are able to do server-side coding, then indeed that is the
preferred method.

There is this .js route:

Immediately after the menu add:

<script language="javascript">setPage()</script>

now make a style .current

Off you go, works a treat.
