<div>
This works, however when I click on a menu item, the background color of the menu item is red and I need to set to another color:<br />
<br />
The css is now:<br />
&nbsp;
<pre><code id="code-8228154">a.mainlevel:hover
{
/* color:#6600CC;
*/
color:#6600CC!important;
font-weight: bold !important;
}


a.mainlevel:visited
{
color:#6600CC!important;
}

a.mainlevel:link
{
color:#6600CC!important;
}

a.mainlevel:active
{
color:#6600CC!important;
}</code></pre>

Joomla is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content. It is built on a model–view–controller web application framework that can be used independently of the CMS. Written in PHP, Joomla uses object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques and software design patterns, stores data in a MySQL, MS SQL  or PostgreSQL database, and includes features such as page caching, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, search, and support for language internationalization.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.
