Highlight single tab (not selected)

[Jeff]

We have a lightweight tabstrip using the "Simple" skin. We'd like to call attention to a single tab by giving it a different color via a style. We're able to change it by using "tab1.backcolor=Color.Lime" but would prefer if we can have the tab have a secondary style so we can control it's parameters via css.

We tried the following and it successfully changes the single tab font-weight but the background color gets overwritten by the Simple skin:

tab1.CssClass = "highlight-tab";

html .highlight-tab {
    font-weight: bold !important;
    background-color: Lime !important;

}

We also the following to try and supplement the RadTabStrip_Simple style but can't figure out how to get it to work:

.RadTabStrip_Simple highlight-tab .rtsLevel1 .rtsLink

Is there a way to do this?

thanks
