Basically, I'm coding my new portfolio website and I have two lists, one is the navigation and the other is the content in my slider. My navigation list has a black background and turns red on hover. However, when I link any content in my slider, it uses that style and turns the background black (and red on hover) which isn't what I want...

So I was wondering if there is a way you can make a list ignore a style... I added #nav infront of my ul/li on the css and this fixed it, however it cut the bottom off my second list (content slider).

HTML:
First list for nav

<div id="nav">
<ul id="menu">
<li class="active"><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="about.php">About</a></li>
<li><a href="blog.php">Blog</a></li>
<li><a href="services.php">Services</a></li>
<li><a href="portfolio.php">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.php">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>


Second list for content

<div id="featuredbg">
<ul class="bxslider">
<li><h1>Bespoke websites at affordable prices.</h1>
<div id="button"><div id="buttontext">Portfolio</div></div>
</li>
<li><h1>Regular tutorials and freebies posted on my blog.</h1>
<div id="button"><div id="buttontext">Blog</div></div></li>
<li><h1>Working on a project has never been easier.</h1>
<div id="button"><div id="buttontext">Read more</div></div></li>
</ul>
</div>


CSS:

ul {
font-family: Trebuchet MS, Arial, Verdana;
font-size: 11px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
ul li {
display: block;
position: relative;
float: left;
}
li ul { display: none; }
ul li a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;
border-top: 1px solid #2a2a2a;
padding: 5px 15px 5px 15px;
background: #2a2a2a;
margin-left: 3px;
white-space: nowrap;
}
ul li a:hover { background: #e13535; }
li:hover ul {
display: block;
position: absolute;
}
li:hover li {
float: none;
font-size: 11px;
}
li.active a {
background: #e13535;
)
li:hover a { background: #e13535; }
li:hover li a:hover { background: #e13535; }


Thanks for all help, greatly appreciated.

Try something like this,

body {
    color: #000 !important;
}


The !important tag overrides the normal css.

Do that with the links. (CSS) I Don't know if it works. I'll think of a better solution.

No worries I sorted it,

CSS:

#nav ul li a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;
border-top: 1px solid #2a2a2a;
padding: 5px 15px 5px 15px;
background: #2a2a2a;
margin-left: 3px;
white-space: nowrap;
}
#featuredbg ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;

}
