That's it thanks for the help !

The easiest way is to add for example z-index: 2 for the nav a selector. This is because nav ul has padding on top and overlaps the element.

Dropdown list items above other list items?

I have a rather large navigation bar - when the browser is resized it pushes some list items below, which I understand. However, when you hover over the list items on the top row, the dropdowns fall behind the list items that were pushed onto a second line. This is what I mean:
How can I get the "example" list items to sit above the list items on the second line (Supplier Directory and Travel Trade in this case). It's probably something really simple that I'm missing somewhere. Thanks!
I've attached a codepen to demonstrate the problem too - resize the browser so that the list items fall to the line below: https://codepen.io/Macast/pen/jZrObb

Navbar dropdown width resize

I have a navigation bar that is fluid on both desktop and mobile devices. However, the drop-down items widths don't resize based on the parent's width. I would like to hover over a drop-down item and it has the same width as the list item I hovered over. At the moment it has a fixed width but I can't seem to get it working by trying other options. I also cannot get the entire navigation bar to center, as at the moment it is stuck to the left. Thanks for the help!

}
To adjust the dropdown menu size to the same size as the containing list-item, declare a left and right property value of 0 on the dropdown element in question (nav ul ul), then remove the explicitly declared width on the nested list items of the dropdown menu (nav ul ul li).
Example:
nav ul ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 60px;
/* additional property values declared */
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
This works because the dropdown menus are already positioned absolute and the containing parent element list item (nav ul li) is already positioned relative.
You can position absolute elements relative to their parents if their parents are relative.
So all we are doing here is defining the extent of the dropdown menu width to "stretch" from "left to right" of the parent's width.
Code Snippet Demonstration:
.toggle,
[id^=drop] {
display: none;
}
/* Giving a background-color to the nav container. */
nav {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

In Addition:
You can horizontally center the navigation menu by removing the float rule declared on nested list-items (nav ul li), as this will negate any attempt to align content (unless you use flex-box), then declare text-align: center on the containing unordered list (.menu), as demonstrated below:
nav ul {
text-align: center;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
position: relative;
}

CSS: drop down menu doesn't display when navbar is repositioned

I want to reposition my navbar. In its current position:
#navbar ul {
width: 100%;
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
background-color: #5D2C2C;
/*position: relative;
bottom: 115px;*/
}
#navbar ul li {
float: left;
/*position: relative;
left: 420px;*/
}
#navbar li li {
display: none;
}
#navbar li:hover li {
display: block;
width: inherit;
}
#navbar a {
font-family: "Palatino Linotype";
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 2px 5px;
}
the dropdown displays correctly
but when I remove the /* comments */ so the bar is correctly positioned, the menu drops down but the two items aren't showing and I cannot find out why
the HTML if needed:
<div id="navbar">
<ul>
<li>Introduction</li>
<li>History</li>
<li>National Flags</li>
<li>International Maritime Signal Flags
<ul>
<li>Maritme Signals: Letters</li>
<li>Maritme Signals: Numbers </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

Navbar in HTML/CSS not functioning properly

I am new to website design, and there are a few flaws in my navbar that I cannot fix.
I cannot get the navbar to center properly.
When the screen resolution changes, the list overflows into the next line.
there is 1 list element that is sized differently and I cannot seem to figure out why.
Here is the code:
https://jsfiddle.net/b02nm6ae/#update
CSS:
.nav_wrapper {
z-index: 9999;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
min-width: 50px;
}
.nav_wrapper ul {
display: block;
position: relative;
position: fixed;
/* fixes automatic values set by ul */
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.nav_wrapper ul li {
list-style: none;
display: list-item;
background-color: #993300;
float: left;
}
/* hides the submenu by default */
.nav_wrapper ul ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
}
/* makes the sub menu appear on hover over list element */
.nav_wrapper ul li:hover > .sub_nav1 {
display: list-item;
list-style: none;
}
/* lists the list items on top of one another */
.nav_wrapper ul .sub_nav1 li {
float: none;
position: relative;
}
.nav_wrapper ul li a{
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 12px;
}
.nav_wrapper li a:hover{
color: #000;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
/* Dropdown Menu arrow */
.nav_wrapper ul li > a:after {
content: '\25BE';
}
.nav_wrapper ul li > a:only-child:after {
content: '';
}

Once you float the li then centering becomes problematical. In these instances, it's often preferred to use display:inline-block and center then by applying text-align:center to the parent ul.
This does have a white-space downside but there are methods around that, one of which (font-size) I have used here.
As for the single element with the greater height...that was caused by the pseudo-element...so slapped a quick patch over it. Frankly, I would be applying a class to the parent li and using a pseudo-element on the li but that's another debate entirely.
body {
font-family: 'Didact Gothic', sans-serif;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background-color: #CCCCFF;
}
.nav_wrapper ul {
display: block;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
font-size: 0;
/* remove whitespace */
}
.nav_wrapper ul li {
list-style: none;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
background-color: #993300;
position: relative;
font-size: 1rem;
/* font-size reset */
}
/* hides the submenu by default */
.nav_wrapper ul ul {
display: none;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
}
/* makes the sub menu appear on hover over list element */
.nav_wrapper ul li:hover > .sub_nav1 {
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
/* lists the list items on top of one another */
.nav_wrapper ul .sub_nav1 li {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
}
.nav_wrapper ul li a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 12px;
}
.nav_wrapper li a:hover {
color: #000;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
/* Dropdown Menu arrow */
.nav_wrapper ul> li > a:after {
content: '\25BE';
line-height: 0;
}
.nav_wrapper ul li > a:only-child:after {
content: '';
}
<div class="nav_wrapper">

</li>
<li>Contact Us
</li>
</ul>
<div>
Well I notice that if I set a 25 pixel height to
.nav_wrapper ul li a
that removes the extra space for example..
.nav_wrapper ul li a{
height:25px;
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 12px;
}

When I resize my browser the headings, navigation bars overlaps. It doesn't fits with the browser

When I place the width of by web page as 100% it fits to the browser. But when I re-adjust the size of the browser the navigation bar I used overlaps and all the positions go wrong. I can't figure out the mistake yet. I will post the css and the html code below. Please someone help me to fix my web page.
HTML:
<div class="main">
<div class="header">
<div class="logo12">

You can use relative width for CSS,for example:
.main, .header{width:100%;}
Add white-space: nowrap to your navigation CSS. I know this is an old post, but seems to have no solution yet.
