You can easily find the selectors you need by utilizing the Firebug add-on for 
Firefox. Once you have that installed, simply place your mouse pointer over the 
element in question, right-click (Ctrl-click on a Mac), and choose "Inspect 
Element" in the context menu. Firebug will open, and will display information 
regarding that element. On the left side, you will see where it is found in the 
document tree. On the right, you will most likely find a box with all of the 
CSS rules that apply to it, including the selectors that were used to declare 
the rules and where they are found in the various stylesheets that have been 
applies.

By the way, Firebug is useful for a lot more than this, too. So I would 
strongly recommend that, if you don't have it already, you install it right 
away.
