# Image sprite CSS question

 * Hi,
 * I have a nav menu with image sprites that is not behaving exactly the way I want.
   I’m using wordpress with skeleton theme. What I want is for #menu-item-131 to
   display a different image sprite from the rest of the navigation. Inspecting 
   with firebug reveals that as of now #menu-item-131 takes its style from #navigation
   ul li a. I’ve tried a lot of different things, even moving all navigation css
   except for #menu-item-131 to the non-child theme css file, but no luck. Below
   is the navigation css code.
 * Would really appreciate some help with this.
 * Thank you.

 * You should be able to style #menu-item-131 directly.

 * #menu-item-131 has its own styling, but the background style of “#navigation 
   ul li a” is overriding the background style of #menu-item-131.

 * `#navigation ul li#menu-item-13` will over-ride it.

 * For some reason #navigation ul li#menu-item-131 is not overriding it.

 * **#navigation ul li.menu-item-131 a ** solved it. Bit embarrassing, but im still
   learning.
 * Thanks for your help.
