Man, you are a genius. No wonder those dudes stole your site.
So to help me understand the syntax;
"ul#goBigNav" is the 'master' control (for lack of a better description) and its properties will trickle down to the others ("ul#goBigNav li", "ul#goBigNav li a" etc) UNLESS their individual properties are changed. is this correct?
in the case of my (half) code, since I left out "ul#goBigNav" it took on some life of its own or some default padding and margin settings, correct?
thanks again, really appreciate you taking the time and effort to troubleshoot this for me. I have learned a lot.
