add:
display: block;
float: left;
to #topmenu ul li a {...}
and the desired background colour to #topmenu ul li a:hover {...}
BTW: Don't size them in pixels, as when I increase my font size to make
it readable, I can't read half the menu items, because the boxes don't
resize with the text. Use em.
Don't size your fonts in pt (or px) either - besides pt being worse than
meaningless on screen (it's for printing), there is a bug in IE that
means that users *can't* resize it to make it readable. Use % (100 of
them for most things, more for headings, no less than about 85-90 for
legalese).
And why are you only using up half the width of my browser canvas?

Well, the first thing to do is to fix the validation errors in your CSS
- I pretty much don't get any styles applied to that page at all,
because of a typo right near the top.
