The big question is what elements your links are in. The fancy stuff
above (before the curly braces) are the selectors. Depending on what
elements you want to match, it will be simple or complex (or even
impossible!) to express in CSS.
What you want to do should be easy if you use proper lists:
<ul>
<li><a>blah</a></li>
<li><a>blah</a></li>
<li><a>blah</a>
<ul>
<li><a>sub-blah</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<ul>
But I can't really help you without an example page or code snippet,
other than suggesting random things that may or may not help.
What Joe wanted to do was very complex, relative to what most people
use CSS for. And I'm not sure that what I sent him was what he was
looking for.
