It's red by default but I need to change it to a light blue. I can't
find this attribute anywhere in the CSS file. I've changed all other
colors except for this one last one that I can't seen to located.
In a previous post, someone asked this same question but the response
didn't seem right. They suggested tweaking the "sprites" file in
photoshop. That's not what triggers the hover color in this case.
Every psd I'm using does not contain red, yet the hover color still
is.
ANY help would so helpful as I need to have this project done by
tonight.

thanks for responding. i actually found it just a bit before your e-mail. what a relief!
i actually had one more question. you've been so helpful so i thought i'd ask. for some reason the site i'm working on has trouble in Internet Explorer. the site works perfectly in Firefox and Safari but when i view it in Internet Explorer the navigation gets all screwy. two things actually:
1. when first viewing the site in IE, the navigation is way at the top left of the screen (way off above the header). when you mouse over it, it goes back to where it should be (under the header). what's going on there? also, if you shrink the window some, the navigation doesn't stay in tact. it gets jumbled up because the window is smaller.
2. once the nav is back, when you mouse off from the drop down menu, the menu sticks and won't make the drop down items go away. again, not sure why this is happening.
please note: issue #1 only seems to happen with IE version 6. issue #2 happens with IE7.
any help on this would be so great. everything has gone well except for these final issues.
again, thanks so much for all your help so far peter.

Hi John, theres potentially a few things going on there to cause you grief. You'll need to do a bit of trial and error - unfortunately i dont have the time to pinpoint the error, but can point you in the right direction....
you'll find a raft of IE bugs explained (and its important to read and understand *why* they happen so you can avoid them) and how to fix them here: http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer.html
re your prob No.2 - search the archives of this mailing list, many people have suggested fixes for problematic navs in IE7

thanks for those links. i looked through them but i couldn't find a solution for issue# 1. this is the main issue i need to resolve as it's holding me back from launching my site. issue# 2 isn't a big problem right now.
i have no idea why the navigation bar isn't working correctly in IE6. the nav bar wasn't changed from the original Type-A Mollio template other than the banner above it. i added a jpeg to the banner which made the nav bar move a bit lower than it is in the template. i don't know how that would mess anything up.
so right now, the problem is when you go to the site, the nav is in the upper left hand corner of the screen. then, either when you mouse over it or shrink the browser a bit, will the nav jump to it's correct position which is under the banner. i have NO idea why this is happening. i'm getting nervous because this site is due in two days. everyone who will be using the site uses IE, and last night i noticed they all use IE6. huge problem.
i know you don't have much time but if you can spare just a bit and possibly help, i'd be more than willing to pay for your time. let me know if this is a possibility and how much you would need. you will have saved me!
thanks peter.

re -> *so right now, the problem is when you go to the site, the nav is in the upper left hand corner of the screen. (the problem page is at http://idiom3.com/tapanam/html/)*
1) to fix the nav appearing top left in IE6, Add a conditional comment <http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html> to your pages that targets to all versions of IE *below* IE7 like this:
peter, i can't thank you enough. really, you saved this project.
i'm on such a tight deadline so i freaked out but you're right. the info is there. once this is all done, i'm going to read through all that info and try and figure out why certain things don't work and why the fixes actually fix them.
again, i thank you so much for your help.
