I copied and pasted the same exact css and asp code into another project and the CSS just will not take to the asp:menu control and I cannot figure it out. Also, when I view source the menu is creating its own style block.
I made it easy to help, you can just copy and past full page code and CSS below. Help is much appreciated.
Here is the aspx page in full:

Like I said this same exact code is working in another project I cannot figure this one out. Same css version in each, 2.1. Thanks. -Taylor
I found the issue thanks to some guidance from the users here. After inspecting the menu control element it was rendering as a <table>
whereas every other project I have ever used this control on it rendered as a <div>
here is the link with someone else with same situation:
http://forums.asp.net/t/1613711.aspx
simple solution for me was to add the property RenderingMode="List"
to my asp:menu and it fixed my issue.
thanks to all who helped.
