Multiple Style Sheet Question

I am running into a problem with a style sheet for my menu and the style sheet on my web page.

The style sheet for the web page is over riding some of the items of my menu sheet.

Is there any way i can stop this and exclude my menu from being styled by the web page sheet?

i guess your styling using html elements

eg...

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. ul{
  2. float:left;
  3. }
what you need to do is use classes and IDs

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. .myUnorderdList{
  2. float:left;
  3. }
This is only a guess as you haven't included code for me to use to help diagnose.

If this didn't work please include examples

My main problem lies in that the Web Page Css file treats all the menu items with drop downs as VISITED Links and makes them red. I need them to remain white at all times (User Request), but if i change the Web Page style sheet to Visited Links being white it fixes the problem with the menu items, but it creates the issue where all other links that were Visited are now white and unreadable.

Best guess is that the achor tags are linking back to the same page. Therefore the href is referencing a page already visited.

If you make sure the anchors that are comming up red AREN'T pointing at the current page.

Many people do this while a sites in dev, if this isn't the case please post a link OR the complete code.

  1. A:link { color: blue; text-decoration: none }
  2. A:active { color: blue; text-decoration: none }
  3. A:visited { color: red; text-decoration: none }
  4. A:hover { color: #00CCFF; text-decoration: none }
