 * Hi I have a WP site here:
 * [http://www.nourishnfp.com/dev/services/](http://www.nourishnfp.com/dev/services/)
 * I looked earlier on forum to find a way to highlight page nav if a parent page
   was selected. And found out how with the code below:
 *     ```
       #nav a:hover, #nav a.active, #nav li.current_page_item a, #nav li.current_page_parent a  {
       background-color:#8c0605;
       color:#ffffff;
       background-position: 130px -26px;
       display:block;
       }
       ```
   
 * Unfortuanely the selector #nav li.current_page_item a is also affecting my drop
   down menus as well which are a sub UL of my parent li..
 * Have spent forever trying to find the css selector that may over ride the above
   code…Cant seem to find anything that will do the trick??
 * I have also tried just using #nav li.current_page_item as selector which didnt
   affect my drop down menus but did affect the highlighting of main navigation 
   item..
 * Advice much appreciated
