Thanks Charlie, You describe the situation perfectly! I am still a tenderfoot at this game but I am getting my hands dirty. Priorities is not the easiest notion to grasp. I am using Firebug but I am not yet fully proficient with all its functionalities and haven't (yet) got the "method" to move up a trail of cascading styles.
At this stage, my menu is working with the mods I indicated. I will fine-tune it once the new site is up. You'll be told!
