Thank you guys,

Yeah CSS is crap, I found that template on a free template website. I
should learn grrrr.

I found a fix thought if I had id=current on the right li for this
page I get the gray.

<ul>
<li><a href="index.php"><span>Home</span></a></li>
<li><a href="about.php"><span>About Us</span></a></li>
<li><a href="contact.php"><span>Contact Us</span></a></li>
<li id="current"><a href="driving.php"><span>Driving Directions</
span></a></li>
<li><a href="floorplans.php"><span>Floor Plans</span></a></li>
</ul>
