ASP.NET MVC page, CSS (?) problem

Answer 1

I think the problem lies in your css. Try adding 'a' to the end of the last item so that you are applying that style to the anchor and not the li.

ul#menuDeveloper li.menuidcardactive a

instead of

ul#menuDeveloper li.menuidcardactive

What seems to be happening is that your style is being applied to the li (so your background gets applied) but the text color is getting overridden by

ul#menuDeveloper li a
