</div>
CSS:
.sign_out_button{
background-color: #2fa4e7;
padding-top: 16px;
padding-bottom: 16px;
padding-left:10px;
padding-right:10px;
color: #FFF;
float: left;
text-decoration: none;

.sign_out_button a{color:#FFF;
text-decoration: none;}

Answer 1

Here is another choise without javascript and it works fine too
<ul>
<li>
Menu
<ul>
<li>Submenu</li>
<li>Submenu</li>
<li>Submenu</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
This is your html, insert to your page. Now comes the CSS
ul {
width:200px;
text-align: left;
display: inline;
margin: 0;
padding: 15px 4px 17px 0;
list-style: none;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);
}
ul li {width:200px;
font: bold 12px/18px sans-serif;
display: inline-block;
margin-right: -4px;
position: relative;
padding: 15px 20px;
background: #fff;
cursor: pointer;
-webkit-transition: all 0.2s;
-moz-transition: all 0.2s;
-ms-transition: all 0.2s;
-o-transition: all 0.2s;
transition: all 0.2s;
}
ul li:hover {
background: #555;
color: #fff;
}
ul li ul {
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 48px;
left: 0;
width:200px;
-webkit-box-shadow: none;
-moz-box-shadow: none;
box-shadow: none;
display: none;
opacity: 0;
visibility: hidden;
-webkit-transiton: opacity 0.2s;
-moz-transition: opacity 0.2s;
-ms-transition: opacity 0.2s;
-o-transition: opacity 0.2s;
-transition: opacity 0.2s;
}
ul li ul li {
background: #555;
display: block;
color: #fff;
text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 #000;
}
ul li ul li:hover { background: #666; }
ul li:hover ul {
display: block;
opacity: 1;
visibility: visible;
}

Answer 4

I created a fiddle with my own div menu with dropdown. You can add icons to it and change as you need it. You need to use jquery. I will add later another without jquery.
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="LEFT-MENU">
<ul>
<li>
MENU 1
<ul class="LEFT-SUBMENU">
<li>SUBMENU 1</li>
<li>SUBMENU 2</li>
<li>SUBMENU 3</li>
<li>SUBMENU 4</li>
</ul></li>
</ul></div>
