CSS - dropdown menu

Question

I'm new with CSS and testing some stuff. I created a dropdown menu but this doesn't work correctly. Here is my code:

 <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <link href = "üben_css.css" rel = "stylesheet" type="text/css"> <title> xx</title> </head> <body> <div id="nav"> <ul> <li> Home </li> <li> xx <ul> <li> Hc </li> <li> Scc </li> </ul> <li>Zubehör </li> <li> Service </li> <li> Forum </li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>

CSS code:

 body{ margin:0; padding:0; } #nav{ background-color:silver; position:relative; } #nav ul li{ display:inline; } #nav ul ul{ display:none; } #nav ul li:hover ul{ display:block; } #nav ul ul li{ display:block; }

The problem is that the nav bar is displayed inline but when I hover over my "xx" element the rest of my nav bar appear under my dropdown list. How can I fix this?

Remove these lines from your css:

#nav ul li:hover ul{ display:block; }

Using

#nav ul li{ display:inline-block; }

Compared to just inline. If it was just inline the absolute positioning below would cause multiple dropdowns to all appear in the same place according to the #nav div.

#nav ul li:hover ul{ position: absolute; display:block; }

This still doesn't look very good but it's functional. Checkout at tutsplus for some good tutorials.

At the same time, I'm sure you could solve this much more efficiently with jQuery.
