change "#navcontainer ul li a:hover" css entry?

Hi all.... its late and I'm stuck!

I have the following entry in my style sheet:

#navcontainer ul li a:hover{
color: #559697;
}

When the DOM is ready I need to change the hover color but I cannot for the life of me seem to pin down the selector..... thinkits cause I'm tres fuzzy!

Grateful for any help!
