Can't see what you're doing without a live example / page.

It may be a case of specificity[1], or that you are tearing the ID lose
from its element and addressing it wrongly, in the stylesheet.

Your example...

.AB li {

...won't work because there's no li inside AB - AB _is_ the specific li.
You're also using an ID in the source-code and a class in CSS, and that
won't target anything.

The following...

#TJK_dropDownMenu li#AB {
?width:2.23em;?
?max-width:2.5%;
}

...will target the li with an ID="AB", and nothing else. It also has
high enough specificity to override the general styling for
#TJK_dropDownMenu li.
