I am fighting an odd behavior in a skin I'm creating for a friend.  The drop down menus are displaying in a larger font than the main menu items.  I have continued to tear down the CSS and dig through it with IEWatch and the MS DevToolBar and cannot find what's causing it.

If anyone can take a peak or has experienced something similar I'd really appreciate some help.  You can see the site here:  http://bentleytransportation.com

Hover over the SERVICES menu for the only drop down currently active.

TIA

I can get  just about every property to change by using .MainMenu_MenuItem - except I can't change the color of the top-level menu items. I can change the font-weight, bot not color. How's come?

Thanks John, but -

Even so. What I am finding is that my skin.css properties is not overwriting the default.css properites. If I change them in default.css to match what is in skin.css, I'm good. Of course, I don't want to do that. Most of the properties in the skin.css are coming through, but not things like the background-color control, the font color, the height for MainMenu_MenuItem - even when I add the pseudoclasses.

I've tried it both as you suggested and also a.MainMenu_MenuItem:link with the same results. Only when I alter the values in default.css do I get the desired results.
