 * Hey there…
 * i am having trouble highlighting a link as a current item. i am using the “[flexi page widget](http://srinig.com/wordpress/plugins/flexi-pages/)”
   and it is showing these classes:
 *     ```
       <ul>
       <li id="flexi-pages-1" class="widget flexipages_widget"><ul>
       <li class="page_item page-item-1"><a href="#" title="About">About</a></li>
       <li class="page_item page-item-3 current_page_ancestor current_page_parent"><a href="#" title="Products">Products</a>
       <ul>
       <li class="page_item page-item-6 current_page_item"><a href="#" title="Products One">Products One</a></li>
       <li class="page_item page-item-4 current_page_item"><a href="#" title="Products Two">Products Two</a></li>
       </ul>
       </li>
       <li class="page_item page-item-10"><a href="#" title="Contact">Contact</a></li>
       </ul>
       </li>
       </ul>
       ```
   
 * if i set theses clasess “current_page_ancestor” and/or “current_page_parent” 
   the children also show as current.
 * what am i doing wrong? please help!

 * Try reversing the highlighting for the children:
 *     ```
       li.current_page_parent { [highlight]; }
       li.current_page_parent li { [don't highlight]; }
       ```
