Talking css and java script combined for drop down

I am using a drop down menu and I am able to manipulate the text box:

the background color, the text size, the box size and the border color, BUT...

what ever i try it will not let me change the text color (default=blue) and for my site i want the menu box to be
dark-grey and hover color pink (dont ask) this I can do but the dang text stays blue grrrrrrrrr.

this is the full script bare with me its a long one.


If I made any changes in the script i put <------- behind it and what i changed it into.

<style type="text/css">

#dropmenudiv{
position:absolute;
border:1px solid black; <----------made this white!
border-bottom-width: 0;
font:normal 12px Verdana; <----------- made this 18 and arialblack
line-height:18px; <------------- made this 20
z-index:100;
}

#dropmenudiv a{
width: 100%;
display: block;
text-indent: 3px;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
padding: 1px 0;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
}

#dropmenudiv a:hover{ /*hover background color*/
background-color: yellow; <----------- made this pink (once again dont ask lol)
}

</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

here I added: var menufontcolor='white'

if (ie4||ns6)
document.write('<div id="dropmenudiv" style="visibility:hidden;width:'+menuwidth+';backg round-color:'+menubgcolor+'" onMouseover="clearhidemenu()" onMouseout="dynamichide(event)"></div>')


this i changed into.........

In addition, when you changed your script, you added "font-color" to the style definitions in each link. "font-color" is not a CSS class. It should simply be "color".

BTW - Please use the "code" tags when posting code in the future.
