Background color not changing in IE

Hello guys,
In FF everything works great, but in IE background color doesn't change. Any idea why?
http://www.velimotors.com/test1.htm is the url,
and the CSS is here:

.dropmen {
border:1px solid #ffffff;
font-family: Verdana;
background-color: #e4edec;
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 20px;
}
.dropmen a {
width: 100%;
display: block;
text-indent: 20px;
border-bottom: 1px #ffffff;
color: #62817f;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
}
.dropmen a:hover {
background-color: #ffffff;
color: #62817f;
font-weight: bold;
}

Thanks!

 

does the background color change to white on mouse over in IE???

 

hm, it might be my browser/cash... anyway, thank you Katy!

 

Replace background-color in .dropmen a:hover by background for IE 7

 

It does for me too...please confirm whther it has started working for you.
