.verbar { /* Color of main vertical menubar and border */
/* color: black; */

/* border: 0px outset #000000; */
}
.vertitem { /* Behaviour of main vertical menu items, leave as is for proper operation */
text-align: left;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.vertitem a { /* Font style, size of main menu items */
font-family: Arial Black, Arial Black, Gadget, sans-serif;
font-size: 24px;
text-decoration: none;
position: relative;
display: block;
width: 160px;
height: 32px;
}
.vertitem a:link, .vertitem a:visited { /* Default font style & color of main menu items */
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}
.vertitem a:hover { /* Font style & color, background menu color of main menu item when hovered over */
color: #c80000;

text-decoration: none;
}
.vertitem a:active { /* Font style & color, background menu color of main menu item when clicked */
color: #ff0000;
background: url(images/menu_button_bg_2.gif);
text-decoration: none;
}
.vertsubmenu { /* Behaviour of sub-menu - leave as is for proper operation of submenus */
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
visibility: hidden;
}
.vertsubframe { /* Color of submenu item and border */

/* border: 2px outset #fdfefd; */
position: relative;
display: block;
}
