How to get the background color on the sub-menu for the whole and each <li>?

As I get the background color only for the "typed" area so I can't manage to get it for the whole <li> area. Not sure if I was enough clear. For example in this page there is a sub-menu that works as I would like to get: http://www.securityandpolicing.co.uk/. If you mouse over "Visit" and then "Who should attend" the background color of "Who should attend" takes the whole <li> area and it's not just limited to the area that starts from "W" ending to "d". Not sure if I was enough clear what i meant.

Can you show us your code? As long as you target the li (and not the a), it should color correctly.
