Nope.  Each page is different.

There is no "magic" in programming.

Which works great if the code is the same on every page.  You want the code
to be different on every page (that is, a different tab is white).  This
means the HTML is different.  Unless your SSI can handle a parameter to
determine which page is selected (and thus include the white tab) then you
have to actually write code.

This is what I was referring to when I said "a little elbow grease".  You
have a choice: same menu on every page (which I despise), hardcoded menu on
each page (I chose this) or a programmatic menu on each page.  You could
achieve the latter with a little JavaScript.  There's no magic for it.
