That's because what you've done is different from applying two classes to
the same element. With that piece of CSS, you are applying colour to a list
item that is inside another list item that is inside an element with the ID
of 'nav'. To make this code do something, you'd need the following html:
<div id-"nav">
<ul>
<li>test line 1
<ul>
<li>sub line 1</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>test line 2</li>
</ul>
</div>
'sub line 1' would have the new colour applied.
Hope that makes things a little clearer.
Cheers,
Seona.
