It must be overridden. You could use:

<!-- Add a class name to override -->
<select name="funTimes" class="funTimes" size="5">

#elementId select.funTimes {
   /* Override styles here */
}

Make sure you use !important flag in css style e.g. margin-top: 0px !important What does !important mean in CSS?

You could use an attribute selector, but since that isn't supported by legacy browsers (read IE6 etc), it's better to add a class name

Ignore parent CSS in oder to change background of child

Have you tried using the !important attribute for the child class? This will override any previous styles assigned for this attribute and allow you to find out if the style is a problem or the order of the classes.

Note: As a best practice, avoid adding !important everywhere and only use when absolutely necessary. In this case, you could put the child class after the parent class in the css declarations. Using !important can help you figure out if your classes are stylisticly correct but in the wrong order. Then, try ordering your child's CSS class after the parents so that the imporant is not needed anymore. Read more here...
