Issue with CSS and UL
I cannot figure out why the css I have set for my #menubar div is being picked up for all ul elements all through my site? I have the css for #menubar ul etc so it should just be the #menubar element.
Here is a page where you can see the ul is picking up the code

I need to add that style to the #menubar ul li and the ul li ul since this is a dropdown menu so I'm not sure how I would do that?
I have always just started with the #divname and then everything after that styles just under that div?
So how would I write the CSS for the #menubar ul, ul li, ul ul ?

Got it... I have to add the #menubar after each comma.
Thanks

The question was 'why does the style I've applied to my menubar apply to all my ULs through my site'. The reason is because your style rule selects the #menubar UL as well as all UL LIs in your site, plus all UL ULs.
#menubar ul, ul li, ul ul { }
#menubar, ul, p { color:red; }
will style an element with an ID of menubar PLUS all ULs, PLUS all Ps. You would probably need something like this
#menubar ul, #menubar ul li, #menubar ul ul { }
#menubar ul, ul li, ul ul { }
I have always just started with the #divname and then everything after that styles just under that div?Until you add commas, and then they become separate rules. For example:
#menubar, ul, p { color:red; }
will style an element with an ID of menubar PLUS all ULs, PLUS all Ps. You would probably need something like this
#menubar ul, #menubar ul li, #menubar ul ul { }

As you can see, you apply the css not only to the #menubar com[ponent.
In general, check your css.
