Help with html and css Options

[d9esco]

I have a div classed as <div class="tree"> and I have an anchor within that div classed as <a href="" class="branch">

My code looks like this

.tree li a {
background-color: lightgreen;
}
.tree li a .genus {
border-color: purple;
}

Ive also tried

.tree li a {
background-color: lightgreen;
}
.genus {
border-color: purple;
}


Neither work, only the first .tree li a worked, how do I get the .genus class to change?


I tried this code but it dosnt work

.tree li a {
background-color: lightgreen;

}

.tree li a.genus {
background-color: lightgreen;

}

Where is class="genus" used? I don't see it in the example you posted.

We need the HTML also. Maybe the rest of the CSS too. Link to a sample page if you can, otherwise post it here.
