a little help getting a code work

[shamgu4]

hi.. im new here...

Im teaching myself slowly how to use css... Im a fast learner...
So i wanted to apply this css found here
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/cs...rizontal_menu/

to my freewebs website ( i cant edit the Html which sucks so I have to change things in the code around....)
I took the code found there and changed it to this

 * NavBar
 * UL containing all the NavBar links
 */
 
.fw-nav-menu {
	position: relative;
	padding: 0 0 0 34px;
	margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
	background: url(http://www.dynamicdrive.com/cssexamples/media/menur_bg.gif) repeat-x; /*tab background image path*/
	height: 46px;
	list-style: none;
}



.fw-nav-menu ul {
	margin:0px;
	padding:0px;
	border: ;
	background: transparent;
	list-style:none;
	text-align:left;
	cursor:default;

}

/*
 * Individual NavBar LI's
 */
.fw-nav-menu li {
	margin: 0px 15px 0px 0px;
	display: inline;
       float:left;
}

/*
 * Individual NavBar links
 */
.fw-nav-menu li a{
	float: left;
	display: block;
	color:#000;
	text-decoration: none;
	font-family: sans-serif;
	font-size: 13px;
	font-weight: bold;
	padding:0 0 0 16px; /*Padding to accomodate left tab image. Do not change*/
	height: 46px;
	line-height: 46px;
	text-align: center;
	cursor: pointer;	
}

.fw-nav-menu li a{
	float: left;
	display: block;
	padding: 0 24px 0 8px; /*Padding of menu items*/
}

.fw-nav-menu li.current a, .fw-nav-menu li a:hover {
	color: #fff;
	background: url(http://www.dynamicdrive.com/cssexamples/media/menur_hover_left.gif) no-repeat; /*left tab image path*/
	background-position: left;
}

.fw-nav-menu li.current a:hover, .fw-nav-menu li a:hover {
	color: #fff;
	background: url(http://www.dynamicdrive.com/cssexamples/media/menur_hover_right.gif) no-repeat right top; /*right tab image path*/
}

But only a pice of the tab appears at the top? no matter what i do... im not really sure what this line means...

.fw-nav-menu li.current a:hover, .fw-nav-menu li a:hover {

but if i put a b at the end
.fw-nav-menu li.current a:hover, .fw-nav-menu li a:hover b{
it totally doesnt work
can someone point me in the right direction.. or help me out a bit?

maybe I should use a different site... one that lets me also control the html.. but it wouldnt matter cause I dont know how to code that well yet... im just learning on my own...
hopefully ill take a class... im in college learning java now... so one day...

thanks
