Your problem stems from the rule stating that id/class names must begin with an alphabetical character I believe. Try changing your id of "2-1" to "id2-1" or along those lines. When I do this on your page, the "what's right for me" <li> turns white with a red background instead of the default of the rest of the list. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
