Now when i hover over "Stat" submenu is displayed.
1) I want there should be only outer border for submenu and there should be complete white background of submenu without separating orange color between submenu items.
2) When i hover over "Stat" and move mouse to submenu items; background color of "Stat" goes back to orange but i want to keep it white same as when mouse hovers it.
Thanks for your time and help :)

I recognise my own code, I think ;)
I'll just post the amended CSS and hope it explains itself
#menu {
width: 12em; /* set width of menu */
background: #FD7D41;
}#menu ul { /* remove bullets and list indents */
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: #fff;
}/* style, color and size links and headings to suit */
#menu a, #menu h2 {
font: bold 13px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
display: block;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #FD7D41;
margin: 0;
padding: 2px 3px;
}#menu a {
color: #fff;
background: #FD7D41;
text-decoration: none;
}#menu a:hover {
color: #FD7D41;
background: #fff;
}#menu li {
position: relative;
float: left; /* add this for IE's whitespace bug */
width: 100%; /* add this for IE's whitespace bug */
}#menu ul ul ul {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 100%;
width: 100%;
}div#menu ul ul ul,
div#menu ul ul li:hover ul ul
{display: none;}div#menu ul ul li:hover ul,
div#menu ul ul ul li:hover ul
{display: block;}/* add this rule to put border around whole sub list instead of individual list items */
div#menu ul ul li:hover ul {
border: 1px solid #fd7d41;
}/* add this rule to put borders around all the anchors */
div#menu ul ul li:hover a {
border: 1px solid #FD7D41;
background: #fff; /* moving this to the more general rule makes all descendant <a>'s of a hovered li remain white */
color: #FD7D41;
}/* I removed a bunch out of here to the less specific rule above */
div#menu ul ul li:hover ul a {
font: 11px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
border: 0; /* add this rule to remove the border from drop list anchors */
}div#menu ul ul ul li a:hover {
color: #fff;
background: #FD7D41;
}
Is that what you're after?
