Just change in your original post:
ul#nav-top-text .selected {
background-position:0 -86px;
}
to
ul#nav-top-text .selected a {
background-position: 0 -86px;
}
What you were previously telling the browser was:
"Move the background applied to the .selected (li) element down 86 pixels."
And the browser said:
"There is no background on the li element, so, I'm all good here."
Now what you'll be telling it is:
"Move the background applied to the a element of the .selected element
(li) down 86 pixels."
And the browser will say:
"Oh, that's the active portion of the background image right? Here ya go!"
That's why it works when you change where the class is declared because
you're changing which element it's applied to. But you can do the same
thing (without getting classitis) by just placing the a after the
.selected in your declaration.
