Hi,

I have recently added a CSS drop down menu to a site that uses this tutorial

> **[Drop-Down Menus, Horizontal Style](http://alistapart.com/article/horizdropdowns)**
>
> Multi-tiered drop-down menus can be a hassle to build and maintain — especially when they rely on big, honking chunks of JavaScript. Nick Rigby presents a way to handle this common navigation element with a cleanly structured XHTML list,...

however, as it uses styles for the \<ul\>\<li\> menu items it is styling normal lists that I have in the content of the page when I want them to display normally.

any suggestions?

Is their way to overide a style on an individual \<ul\> tag?

Thanks
