Down State Using Spry Menu Bar

[lfirth]

Does anyone know how to create an "Active" menu button state using the Spry Menu Bar? I've created a spry menu that works well for both normal state and roll over but not active. Have a look here for an example:

I haven't done this, but you should be able to go to the SpryMenuBar CSS
page in your application and define a CSS rule for a:active

Thank you for your help Nancy, the down state now works fine. I have another problem now. How do you set the sub menu's not to have a background image? I would like them just to be a colour, I have tried to set "background-image: none;" but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

/* Submenus should appear to the right (259px) and down (5px) with a higher z-index, but they are initially off the left side of the screen (-1000em) */
ul.MenuBarVertical ul
{
background-image: none;
margin: 5px 0 0 259px;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 100%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1020;
cursor: default;
width: 8.2em;
left: -1000em;
top: 0;
}

1 of 2 things_

goto the CSS Rule and either

add this:
background-image:none

or if there is already a background-image TAG - delete it_

Thanks for your help ydmfg but as you can see from my post, I have already tried that and it has no effect. Go to http://www.buildingethics.com.au/NewSite/accredited.htm and you will see what I mean.

I am obviously putting the background-image: none; in the wrong place, the question is where does it go?
