How do I target the parent menu element for styling when the user is hovering over the sub-menu?

Hello, here's my live WP install... http://s485206817.onlinehome.us/a_jackson/

If you hover over the "About Us" and "Practice Areas" parent menu items, you will see they each contain a sub menu.

but then when a user hovers over one of the sub menu items, the Parent Menu items revert back to their "un-hovered over" style.

How do I target those parent menu items in CSS to keep them within the hover pseudo-class, when user is hovering over sub menu?

Hey Dominick,

If you use the :hover on the li items instead of the anchor elements it should work:)
