It’s a problem with his code. He includes an external JavaScript file with this
code:
<script type="JavaScript" src="javascript.js"></script>

That type value should be a MIME type, either "text/javascript" or
"application/x-javascript". The page author likely confused type with
language="Javascript". So, the script element should really be
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript.js" language="Javascript"></script>

And, indeed, with that correction, the tab highlighting works.

(Artie, since your e-mail address is also themacos.com, I presume you are
involved with the site. I would like to point out that your HTML contains many
errors which are easy to correct. I suggest you run it through the W3C Validator.)

Reassigning to Evangelism.
