Hi All I can't figure out the selector name for the li item freshperspective.
See I am trying to roll over the list item fresh perspective and have the list show underneath it. I can get it with the following css styling but It is visible when you roll over anything in the ul #menu. Does anyone know the selector i would use just for fresh perspective? Hope I am using the right terminology :)

#menu .level2{
position:absolute;
visibility:hidden;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
#menu:hover a.level2  {
visibility:visible;

}
#menu a.level2 {
height:15px;
margin-top: 22px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: 20px;
padding-top: 5px;
padding-right: 0px;
padding-bottom: 3px;
padding-left: 3px;
border-top-width: thin;
border-top-style: solid;
border-top-color: #b42915;
border-bottom-width: thin;
border-bottom-style: solid;
border-bottom-color: #b42915;
line-height: 15px;
font-size: 14px;
color: #ffffff;
text-transform: uppercase;
width:135px;
position:absolute;
}
<ul id="menu">
<li class="level1">
<a class="level1 item1 first" href="/index.php/fresh-perspective">
<span class="bg">Fresh Perspective</span></a>
</li>
<ul class="level2">
<li class="level2 item1 first last">
<a class="level2 item1 first last" href="#" style="background-color: rgb(65, 64, 63);">
<span class="bg">Weekly Specials</span></a>
</li></ul>
<li class="level1">
<a class="level1 item2 last" href="/index.php/fresh-perspective">
<span class="bg">test</span></a>
</li>
</li>
</ul>

If you mean the first li item then the selector is

#menu .level1

thanks but didn't work for me

Hi apollokid, I think it is because your <li> for level2 is inside the <ul> tag, that may be the reason why the list hovers over all the <ul> items. But, I may be wrong. See what happens if you take it out from inside the <ul> tag.

Here is example for CSS pop-up menu.
