<div class="parent"> <table id="LC764_Menu1" class="menu635"> <tbody> <tr> <td id="LC764_menuItem000" class="menuItem635">Login</td> </tr> <tr> <td id="LC764_menuItem001" class="menuItem635">About Us</td> </tr> <tr> <td id="LC764_menuItem002" class="menuItem635">Contact Us</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> I need to ONLY target the "Contact Us" menu item which (above) is td#LC764_menuItem002. I need to make it white with a red background, but the rest of the menu items need to be black with a yellow background. Simple, as follows: /* for all menu items */ .parent td { color: black; background: yellow; } /* only for Contact Us */ .parent td#LC764_menuItem002 { color: white; background: red; } The trick is to target a range of IDs; figuratively as follows: /* account for all possible (within reason) Contact Us id ranges */ .parent td#LC764_menuItem002 - .parent td#LC1099_menuItem002 { color: white; background: red; } The only sure fire way to do this is to write out a very long list of possible IDs: .parent td#LC764_menuItem002, .parent td#LC765_menuItem002, .parent td#LC766_menuItem002, .parent td#LC767_menuItem002, .parent td#LC768_menuItem002, .parent td#LC769_menuItem002 { color: white; background: red; } The more I think about it, the less likely it seems to be reasonably possible. I think I am going to call this off. I am on my way to check out the link you sent though and will poke around with your suggestions to see if aI can craft something. Thank you very much for your suggestions and time. -- *JONO*// ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
