Hover CSS

[TomTom100]

I have a CSS drop down menu and I want it so that when you hover over the drop down items the original main menu item changes back to the original color. How can I do this. At the moment when I hover over the top items the background color turn orange and the same when I then hover over a drop down item but the background color on the top item stays orange when it's supposed to go back to the original color...

.navMenu a:hover {
background-color: #E56500;
}

Try that instead.
