Well, you learn something new every day. I knew an id had preference over a class, I just assumed
since I specified the class which was nested inside, that I would be good. Makes the style sheet a
bit uglier, but that works.
Thanks

IIRC, ID has higher specifity than class. So it rules. Did you try:
#container .photoBlock .crWrapper { border: 1px solid #00f; }
