I'm trying to change the colour of the menu located on the right here -

http://youngandable.co.uk/products-a-services

But I'm having a hard time locating the corresponding css for this menu. I've tried using firebug but can't find anything that makes any noticable difference.

Any help appreciated,
Thanks,
Craven

Please disable javascript

Please disable javascript it's intensely annoying to keep having the DOM rewritten every two seconds when trying to examine it.

What makes it so difficult?

What makes it so difficult? There are 9 CSS files, which you can reduce to 5 after thinking for a split second. Open one after another and search (every browser has that) for the menu`s settings.

Don't think that's possible

Don't think that's possible in Joomla

template_css.css

template_css.css wrote:

#mainlevel ul,
.menu ul{list-style:none; margin:0; padding:0}
#mainlevel,
.menu{padding:0; text-align:left; margin-left:-19px; margin-right:-4px}
#mainlevel li,
.menu li,
.menu li:hover{background:none}
#mainlevel li a,
.menu li a{height:24px; line-height:24px; text-decoration:none; display:block; font-family:Cambria,"Times New Roman",Times,serif; font-size:12px; text-decoration:none; text-indent:17px; padding-top:5px; border-bottom:1px solid #e5e5e5; background:#fff url(../images/note.gif) no-repeat 2px 12px}
#mainlevel li a:hover,
#mainlevel a#active_menu:link, #mainlevel a#active_menu:visited,
.menu li a:hover, .menu li.active a{background:#FCFBFB url(../images/note_hover.gif) no-repeat 2px 12px}
#mainlevel li a:hover,

Now that didn't take me too long to track down although in reality far too long!

I have stated in the past my dislike of Joomla period and I have to stand by that. Spent a while helping people with Joomla templates which simply ended up being impossible to lend a real hand with due to non standards badly written templates and plugins, because of that I made a concious decision to avoid any topics regarding Joomla. I do hope this doesn't cause you too much grief, but if possible later on choose a different CMS to use, there are far better ones around.

Looks like around line 124 or so that your CSS for that side navigation is being put together, edit what you need there.
