Thank you. It's tricky working in this huge file and trying to style for the full menu and the collapsed menus simultaneously.

You have a: .nav-collapse .dropdown-menu a { 1. [ ]color: White!important; } That is causing the link text to be white. I'd avoid using '!important' - it tends to cause issues like this.

I can't find what is making the color declaration not work. I'd be grateful for any assistance. The site is here: http://168.156.9.250/WELA/ The issue is found on the drop down menus (for example, under About WELA). Below is the css for that element. I can make other tweeks such as changing the padding and the effect is immediately seen, but I can't get that color to behave. The ONLY way I could get it black was to put the style inline on the <li> like this: <li ><a href="test.htm" style="color:Black!important;">Academy Overview</a></li> .dropdown-menu > li > a { display: block; padding: 3px 20px; clear: both; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20px; color: #333333!important; white-space: nowrap; } It is located in the bootstrap.css file at line 4820. You can see from my declaration, that using !important didn't get it to work. I don't find anything in the cascade of style sheets that overwrites it, not is there anything inline. Thank you for any assistance.
