Drop Down Menu styling

[pumpkin05]

Hello all, I have created a CSS drop-down menu, all working nicely except for one thing, the rollover styling disappears once you go from the nav to the sub nav in the dropdown.
For example: When you have the primary About menu active and then go to the subnav drop down, the About text will go from the rollover blue and back to the active grey. Hope that this makes sense.
To get a feel for what is happening go to

CSS Code:
#main-menu {z-index:10; position:relative;}
#main-menu ul {margin:0; padding:0; float:left;}
#main-menu ul li {list-style:none;float:left;height:37px;position:relative; padding:0; margin:0;}
#main-menu ul li a { display:block;padding:0 12px; margin:0;line-height:37px;color:#FFF;text-decoration:none;font-size:12px;text-transform:uppercase;}
#main-menu ul li.active {}
#main-menu ul li.active a {color:#999;/*background:#7a7b7e;*/}
#main-menu ul li:hover {background:#3ea8d4;}
#main-menu ul li a:hover{color:#92d2ed;text-decoration:none;background:#3ea8d4;}
#main-menu ul li ul {position:absolute;width:180px;left:-999em;border-top:0; margin:0; padding:5px 0px 10px 0px;background:#3ea8d4;}
#main-menu ul li:hover ul, #menu ul li.sfHover ul {left:0;}

so if i click on on a link and the "about" link now looks grey is not what you want?

if thats the case then you need to specify a a.visited to style links that have been used.
