I'm trying to create a basic drop-down menu. Whenever I however over "blog", the "wiki" link seems to get dragged into it.
Here's a screenshot to show what I mean:
As you can see, "wiki" is below "march". I want to have "march" drop down from "blog" and keep "wiki" along the green line.
#header {
box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px 2px #000;
border-radius: 15px 15px 15px 15px;
width: 790px;
height: 30px;
line-height: 85%;
background: #002929;
word-spacing: 5px;
}
#header li {
display: inline;
}
#header ul ul {
display: none;
}
#header ul li:hover > ul {
display: block;
}
#header a:hover {
background: #0147FA;
border-radius: 15px 15px 15px 15px;
padding: 2px;
}
#header a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffff4c;
}
<div id="header">
<ul>
<li style="font-size:30px"><strong>Home</strong></li>
<li style="font-size:30px"><strong>Blog</strong>
<ul>
<li style="font-size:30px"><strong>March</strong></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="font-size:30px"><strong>Wiki</strong></li>
</ul>
</div>
Here's a JSFiddle.
So I cleaned up the css and it seems to work now.
Here is your html below
<div id="header">
<ul>
<li style="font-size:30px"><strong>Home</strong></li>
<li style="font-size:30px"><strong>Blog</strong>
<ul>
<li style="font-size:30px"><strong>March</strong></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li style="font-size:30px"><strong>Wiki</strong></li>
</ul>
</div>
Here is the new css below:
#header {
box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px 2px #000;
border-radius:15px 15px 15px 15px;
width: 790px;
height: 30px;
line-height: 85%;
background: #002929;
word-spacing: 5px;
}
#header li {
display: inline;
}
#header a:hover {
background: #0147FA;
border-radius: 15px 15px 15px 15px;
}
#header a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffff4c;
}
#header ul a
{
text-decoration:none;
font-weight:700;
line-height:32px;
padding:0 15px;
}
#header ul li
{
position:relative;
float:left;
margin:0;
padding:0
}
#header ul ul
{
display:none;
position:absolute;
top:100%;
left:0;
padding:0
}
#header ul li:hover > ul
{
display:block
}
Be sure to compare to see the differences between your css and my css. If this is is not what you wanted please get back to me.

You don't have to always use ul elements to achieve that, you can use other elements too as seen below. Here there are 2 examples, one using div and one using select.
This examples demonstrates the basic functionality, but can be extended/enriched more. It is tested in linux only (iceweasel and chrome).

More css code example
HTML:
<ul id="menu">
<li>Categories 1
<ul id="cat1">
<li class="first">temp1</li>
<li>temp2</li>
<li>temp3</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
CSS:
#menu {
background-color: #0000FF;
height: 20px;
padding: 15px 0 10px;
margin: 5px;
font: 12px Tahoma;
font-weight: bold;
text-transform: uppercase;
letter-spacing: 1px;
box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 10px #000;
text-align: center;
}
#menu > li{
display: inline;
}
li a {
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
}
.first{
margin-top: 12px;
}
#cat1 > li{
display: block;
background-color: #0000FF;
width: 150px;
margin-right: auto;
}
#cat1 > li > a{
display: block;
padding: 10px;
box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 2px #000;
}
When i use margin-left: auto in #cat > li it is woring properly. margin-right:auto on the other hand doesn't get the full margin, and I don't understand why this is.
Here's my fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ZfN7t/25/
Thank you for any and all help!
Mayb you should set <li> inline-block , maybe text-align:center and reset margin/padding of <ul> second level too :)
http://jsfiddle.net/ZfN7t/26/
ul {
margin:0 auto;
padding:0;
}
#menu > li {
display: inline-block;
}
Remove the default padding for html elements and it should work like expected.
ul,li
{
margin:0;padding:0;
}

I added float:left and clear both to #nav li ul li (shown below)
#nav li ul li {
float:none;
display:block;
float:left;
clear:both;
}
Here's a demo working in IE -> http://jsfiddle.net/5kWJz/
When I resize my browser windows I am getting some unexpected behavior from IE and Chrome. The navigation menu does not stay locked in place.
I know the problem has something to do with the long text that is right justified with the logo. In this case, the "Comic Subscription..." text. When the "C" of this text comes to the edge of the last navigation menu item, that is when the navigation menu drops.

Add position: absolute; to nav and margin:45px auto; to #contents
The problem seems to be that the <nav> is not clearing the floated list items.
Add overflow:hidden; to your <nav> element, and the problem should be resolved. overflow:hidden; will force a container to expand to the height of its floated children.

You don't have to always use ul elements to achieve that, you can use other elements too as seen below. Here there are 2 examples, one using div and one using select.
This examples demonstrates the basic functionality, but can be extended/enriched more. It is tested in linux only (iceweasel and chrome).
