Yup I second Mike's advise. Make sure first that CSS allows it in a
static demo file, then when you get it to work, you'll know what to
script exactly.
Just a remark $('ul ul li') is not the same as $('ul li'). In the
first case it would only concern li which are inside an ul, inside
another ul (so, excluding first-level ul). Second case concerns all LI
elements.
