Not too sure, but I think you define the ul classes in the anchors (worked and validated for me):

<ul>
<li><a id="SUBMENU" href="#nogo">link one</a></li>
etc...

You can try that...

not a real expert, but try this:

#SUBMENU ul li a:hover{
display: block;
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
background: blue;
background-color: white;
padding: 1px 5px;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-bottom: 0;
}

In place of the #SUBMENU:hover {background-color: white;} you have now.

I will look closer in a little while, trying to get a work computer drive reformatted and re issued atm. :D
