simple css issue - how to change anchor inside li if li:hover

I have this code: 

<ul class="horizmenu">
   <li>
      <a>Link</a>
   </li>
</ul>

http://jsfiddle.net/pAgS9/ in jsfiddle

I want that If i hover the li area, the color of a text should change to white. Now if i hover, it is still black and only if i hover the a, then it becomes white.

how can i achieve this in css?

Change this:

.horizmenu li a:hover, a:active {
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;
}

into this:

.horizmenu li:hover, a:active {
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;
}
