If you can get that to work, then you can duplicate the effect with jQuery. -Mike > From: MartyB > > The more I am studying this, the more I am convinced that > what I am trying to do is impossible. > It is impossible to disassociate a child li background-color > from the parent's, and still let jQuery apply the :even > filter to all li's, sequencially for both parent and child.
