Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA - Background Color Active Links

I've looked through the posts, but haven't been able to pull together what I need.

I would like to have a different color for active links (a:active) in the page menu bar.

I've tried adding this to the CSS Inserts:

HTML Code:

div#menu1 ul.rMenu li.current_page_item a:active {

background: #999966 !important; 

color: #000000 !important;

}

It's not doing it, so I must be missing something here.

I would also like the active link to not change when hovered over - I think this would be li.current_page a:hover

Any help would be appreciated.
