# Changing Border Images?

 * I’m looking for a way to replace the menu border that comes with theme with my
   own image in the Child theme CSS.
 * I tried changing the URL of this border in the child theme/edit CSS portion, 
   but it does not work. Here’s the code I used:
 *     ```
       nav#main-nav > ul:before, nav#main-nav > ul:after  {
           content: '';
           width: 100%;
           height: 6px;
           display: block;
           background: url("images/menu-border2.png") repeat-x top left;
       }
       ```
   
 * However, when I change it in the parent css file, it works fine. What would I
   do to make the child theme CSS override the parent theme CSS?
 * Additionally, if I wanted to create a simple dotted border without an image in
   a different color, how would I do that? Please see my website for a complete 
   picture: simplyfitspired.com
 * Your help is much appreciated!
