[SOLVED] Styling submenus different from menu bar

Ack. I've spent an hour pouring through posts to try to style my sub-menus, and I can't figure it out. For example, I want my background color for the sub menus to be different than the menu bar (Or possible even a background image in the sub menus). What if I want borders around the menu items in the sub menu but not the menu bar, or vice versa? The font size smaller in the sub menus, the link colors, etc.

What's the starting code to put into my css inserts????

Thanks!

That didn't help JD. I know about those inserts to style the menu bar. My issue is that they style both the parent menu bar and the drop-down children menus. What I want to do is style the children/drop down menus *only*.

Here's the site I am working on. Notice how awful the drop-down menus look:

I know this isn't what you want to do but how about using a darker version of your menu bar background color for "Background Color: Hover" and "Background Color: Parent"? Something along the lines of #FD8604.

Yeah not at all what I want to do. I like the parent menu bar as-is. I want to radically change the drop-down menus.

This might be a place to start of course changing the colors as needed.
HTML Code:
li.rMenu-expand li a {
background-color:#FDA94D !important;
}
li.rMenu-expand li a:hover {
background-color:blue !important;
}
