    copied!<p>I know I will be hissed at for asking a question like this, but I'm new to selectors and am struggling with hover effects for a child UL embedded in an existing UL.</p> <p>The HTML:</p> <pre><code> &lt;ul id="ctxMenuStock"&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#ctxCMDCopy"&gt;Copy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#ctxCMDReserve"&gt;Reserve/Outgoing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Set Status &lt;span style="font-family: Webdings"&gt;6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;ul id="ctxMenuStockStatuses" runat="server"&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p>ctxMenuStockStatuses is populated by server code on page load.</p> <p>The CSS:</p> <pre><code> #ctxMenuStock, #ctxMenuStock ul, #ctxMenuPending, #ctxMenuPending ul{ display:none; margin:0; padding:0; list-style-type:none; list-style-position:outside; position:fixed; line-height:1.5em; } #ctxMenuStock a:link, #ctxMenuStock hr, #ctxMenuStock a:active, #ctxMenuStock a:visited, #ctxMenuPending a:link, #ctxMenuPending hr, #ctxMenuPending a:active, #ctxMenuPending a:visited{ display:block; padding:0px 5px; color:#fff; text-decoration:none; background-color:#333; } #ctxMenuStock&gt;li:hover ul, #ctxMenuStock&gt;li:hover ul li, #ctxMenuStock&gt;li:hover ul li a { color:#fff; background-color:#333; } #ctxMenuStock&gt;li:hover a, #ctxMenuPending&gt;li:hover a{ background-color:#fff; color:#333; } #ctxMenuStock ul li ul li a:hover, #ctxMenuPending ul li ul li a:hover{ background-color:#fff; color:#333; } #ctxMenuStockStatuses li { color:#fff; background-color:#333; } #ctxMenuStockStatuses li:hover { background-color:#fff; color:#333; } #ctxMenuStock li, #ctxMenuPending li{ float:none; position:relative; } #ctxMenuStock ul, #ctxMenuPending ul { position:absolute; display:none; float:left; } #ctxMenuStock li ul a, #ctxMenuPending li ul a { width:12em; margin: 0 0 0 4px; float:left; } #ctxMenuStock ul ul, #ctxMenuPending ul ul{ top:auto; } #ctxMenuStock li ul ul, #ctxMenuPending li ul ul { left:12em; margin:0px 0 0 10px; } #ctxMenuStock li:hover ul ul, #ctxMenuStock li:hover ul ul ul, #ctxMenuStock li:hover ul ul ul ul{ display:none; } #ctxMenuStock li:hover ul, #ctxMenuStock li li:hover ul, #ctxMenuStock li li li:hover ul, #ctxMenuStock li li li li:hover ul{ display:block; } #ctxMenuPending li:hover ul ul, #ctxMenuPending li:hover ul ul ul, #ctxMenuPending li:hover ul ul ul ul{ display:none; } #ctxMenuPending li:hover ul, #ctxMenuPending li li:hover ul, #ctxMenuPending li li li:hover ul, #ctxMenuPending li li li li:hover ul{ display:block; } </code></pre> <p>The menu is basically styled as a dark background with white text, but on hover this reverses. This works ok for the parent menu, but the child menu doesn't change and remains white on black.</p> <p>I know some of this CSS is contradicting each other, but its becoming difficult to follow. I can't seem to find alot (if any) of working examples online of how to do this with sub-menus.</p> <p>Can somebody please show me the best approach for this.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> As requested, JSFiddle example created: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/KzhEP/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/KzhEP/</a> Although in my main project, the oncontextmenu attribute is attached to each row of my table server-side. I have mocked up a simple example, but for some reason i cannot get the right click functionality working on jsfiddle.</p>
