Menu Drop Down Styling

Hey

I want to style the drop-down menu in a specific way. What I am trying to do is, when i hover the mouse over any of the main menu content, i would like the background-color for the first-level menu COLOR to be the same lenth as the carosel bannner, across the page. And it should appear the same time as i hover the mouse over the main menu.

I can see in the hot_explore template a menu_drop_down.css empty folder, would i have to use that for any for the styling id have to implement??

Hope you could help me with this one.

here is the site:

Menu css is generated in template_css.php from line ~369:

/*

---

DROP-DOWN

---

*/
...

you can change that or add your css after drop down css. Menu class name is generated and for explorer default is:

.mnu_mainmenu
