Pagematch issues

Hello,
In my left vertical menu, I want to make it so that the menu item corresponding to the current page appears as though it's being hovered over (i.e., white). I've already received advice to use the "pagematch" function, but it doesn't seem to be working. Would someone be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Sample page where it should be working: http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/contents.htm. I've complicated things by building an "embedded menu" in a table cell, so here's the embedded menu code (note that I've only added the pagematch function to the first few items so far):
Code:
with(milonic=new menuname("BuddhismVertMenu")){
style=menuStyleBuddhism;
alwaysvisible=1;
orientation="vertical";
position="relative";
aI("text=Buddhism Home;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/contents.htm;pagematch=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/contents.htm");
aI("text=Fast Facts;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/fastfacts.htm;pagematch=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/fastfacts.htm;showmenu=BuddhismFF;");
aI("text=Timeline;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/timeline.htm;pagematch=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/timeline.htm;");
aI("text=Glossary;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/glossary.htm;");
aI("text=History;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/history.htm;showmenu=BuddhismHistory");
aI("text=Sacred Texts;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/texts.htm;");
aI("text=Beliefs;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/beliefs.htm;showmenu=BuddhismBeliefs");
aI("text=Sects & Schools;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/sects.htm;showmenu=BuddhismSects");
aI("text=Rituals & Practices;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/practices.htm;showmenu=BuddhismPractices");
aI("text=Holidays;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/holidays.htm");
aI("text=Symbols;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/symbols.htm;showmenu=BuddhismSymbols");
aI("text=Objects;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/objects.htm;showmenu=BuddhismObjects");
aI("text=Places;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/places.htm;showmenu=BuddhismPlaces");
aI("text=News;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/news.htm;");
aI("text=Bookstore;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/books.htm;");
aI("text=Store;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/store.htm;showmenu=BuddhismStore");
}
drawMenus(); // This draws the Buddhism vertical menu.
style=menuStyleBuddhism;
alwaysvisible=1;
orientation="vertical";
position="relative";
aI("text=Buddhism Home;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/contents.htm;pagematch=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/contents.htm");

aI("text=Store;url=http://www.religionfacts.com/buddhism/store.htm;showmenu=BuddhismStore");
}
drawMenus(); // This draws the Buddhism vertical menu.
Thank you!

You can code pagematch=whateverpage, but if you don't put the pagebgcolor and pagecolor in the style for the particular menu there is nothing for it to call as to color and text color when it does match. If you want it white with black text, then you'd put pagebgcolor="#ffffff"; pagecolor="#000000"; into the menuStyleBuddhism section of your menu_data.js file where the styles are defined.
