bruce... are you getting a JS error at all? do you have a page we can 
view? the code below is essentially useless to me since i'm not going 
to cut it out and make pages... plus it doesn't tell me if you have a 
spelling error in your HTML...

check your selectors... you probably just need to add a ul#ID li li 
to select descendant lis and style them...

however, i would suggest you take the menu from ALA a little 
further... there are modifications to the JS that allow it to work in 
more browsers, and that provide keyboard access.. also, i've modified 
it to use an ordered list so that those with screen readers can get a 
count and not lose their place so easily...

in addition, i have server-side code that does a character count and 
increases the width of the larger top-level items, handles selected 
elements, and generally makes it a boat-load easier to administer... 
not that all of it would be useful to you here...

that being said, take a look at the menus on algonquinstudios.com... 
they aren't perfect, but i consider them a step up...

otherwise, if you can post your code to a url (and please not post it 
all to the list), we can take a gander...
