Rick,
I am trying to have a two level horizontal nav bar. The second levels
would be hidden by default.
Depending on the location of the page being served the right one
should be displayed by jq.
Don,
You are right assignment by id (#) takes higher priority over
assignment by class.
I couldn't locate this information before because I was unaware of the
term specificity.
Thanks All
