[jQuery] How to find active hyperlinks?


I've this CSS to style my links in my menu:
.menu a:link, .menu a:active, .menu a:visited{
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
}
I would like to find the a-tag (<a>) which is active. I've tried
something like: $('.menu a:active').
How can I find that element?
