You have this in your CSS file:
#navlist a:link, #navlist a:visited {
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
}
#navlist a:link has the same specificity as #navlist a.selected. The
second style listed will win, so the link is black for the .selected
link. Try reversing the order of the styles in your style sheet:
#navlist a:link, #navlist a:visited {
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
}
#navlist a.selected {
color: red;
border: 1px solid red;
}
