Now, I'd like to write code specific to that id "AB" that changes the
width and max-width elts. Easy if you know what you're doing, but I
clearly don't :(
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
rom 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.
ou're also using an ID in the source-code and a class in CSS, and that
on'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
igh enough specificity to override the general styling for
TJK_dropDownMenu li.

Georg
