title: twentyten submenu CSS
body: <p>I am using a twentyten child theme for a website that I am creating and I am having a lot of trouble accessing the "current_item" selector on the sub menu items</p>
  
  <p>I can format the main menu items via:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#access ul li.current_page_item a{}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#access ul ul li.current_page_item a{}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or the standard twentyten css entries:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#access ul li.current_page_item &gt; a,
  #access ul li.current_page_ancestor &gt; a,
  #access ul li.current-menu-ancestor &gt; a,
  #access ul li.current-menu-item &gt; a,
  #access ul li.current-menu-parent &gt; a { }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but neither of them work on the sub-menu items...</p>
  
  <p>What I want to do is change the background and text color of the current submenu item. Any ideas how to access it?</p>
  
  <p>You can check out the current status here:</p>

  <p>The currently selected sub-menu item is "Estrich" and what I want to change is its background and text color.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot!</p>
