Help really appreciated i'm sure its simple and I'm missing something easy

Okay, fixed, I found the answer on http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/191/864294 if anyone else has the same issue. Basically i was editing both the .css and the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css so thoroughly confused I.E. So i deleted the menu, then just edited the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css. Works.

Happy to hear that you found the answer, please mark the thread as 'solved'
