This is what I did on my site that's worked great so far.
You may not want to use this method because it envolves
a lot of embedded perl which may be expensive on the
resources.

On every page in your pages directory that is not an include
page, add at the very top of the page:

[perl values]
	$Safe{'values'}->{'activepage'} = 'name of this page';
	# where 'name of this page' is the actual name of
	# the html file without the '.html'
	return '';
[/perl]

then, as an example, in your include file (which may be a button bar)
do something like

[if value activepage eq 'browse']
	no need to show the browse button since
	we're already browsing
[else]
	show the browse button
[/else]
[/if]

etc.
