Hello there, I was experiencing the same problem, tried every remote CCS solution I could think of but nothing would work. I finally fixed this with a small javascript adjustment + a css class.
In the superfish.js add the following: ruleNr 100 : hideSuperfishUl : function(){ add: $(this).find('a').removeClass('textColor'); ruleNr 119 : showSuperfishUl : function(){ add: $(this).find('a:first').addClass('textColor'); In your stylesheet: .textColor{ color: #ffffff !important; } The !important was needed for IE in my case, not sure if you need it. Hope this helps! With Kind Regards, Barry
