Jquery: Active menu not working ##!!# :-)

Hi, I would appreciate it if someone could help me with this problem, as I have been banging my head on the desk for quite a few hours now.

I need to highlight an active menu item, however, I cannot get it to work. Here is my code:

Menu (Sample) within a Dreamwaver Template
      <ul id="navright">
        <li><a href="../why_crest.html" title="Why use CREST">Why use CREST</a></li>
        <li><a href="../support_industry.html" title="Support To Industry">Support To Industry</a></li>
</ul>

Jquery
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
   var path = location.pathname.substring(1);
   if ( path )
     $('#navright a[href$="' + path + '"]').addClass('activepage');
 });
</script> 

CSS
.activepage {
    color: #F00;
}

Please help, if you can. Thank you. Steven
