Aligning a dropdown menu in CSS in all browsers - html

I have a dropdown menu that is generated from WordPress so I do not want to change the HTML of it. i can change the CSS as needed though and I pretty much have ot working as I need it with the exception of an alignment issue with my dropdown menu.
Google Chrome
FireFox
Internet Explorer
From the images above you can see that IE and FIreFox display it the same but Chrome is always different from the 2. My Goal is to get this box to align perfectly with the right of the menu button and then get it to look that way in all 3 of these browsers.
I have extracted the HTML and CSS into a JSFiddle page for testing and playing around with here...

Hover Effect Not Showing Up on Two Menu Items

My hover effect is not showing up on my first two nav menu items unless the cursor touches the top of the item. I can't click on the first two items at all unless the cursor touches the top of the item. For the other three items, the hover effect is working properly and will show up when the cursor touches the bottom of the item. I've been mucking around with this and I know I did something to mess it up, but I can't figure out what. Everything worked fine before. Thank you for any help with this!

Make vertical dropdown same width as main menu

I tried to make a dropdown submenu (in this case 'Products') which has the same width as the mainmenu. The hover/active background colour should cover the entire width of the menu. It seems to be confined to stay within the above laying table.
Is there a way to expand towards the borders as well?
html,
body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
.mainmenu li:hover .submenu {
display: inherit;
max-height: 200px;
line-height: 25px;
}
.submenu {
overflow: hidden;
max-height: 0;
width: 100%;
-webkit-transition: all 0.5s ease-out;
}
.easyflexMenu {
width: 150px;
height: 500px;
float: left;

}

display: block;
text-decoration: none;
line-height: 25px;

background-color: #229dfc;
}
.easyflexMenu a:active {

background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
}

I've made the CSS a little bit smaller and in this example you have a fix height of the submenu.
You could use jQuery's animate to solve it without a fix height of the submenu
.navigation ul {
display: inline-block;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
list-style: none;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
}
.navigation ul > li {
display: block;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 170px;
min-height: 65px;
line-height: 65px;
}
.navigation ul > li a {
display: block;
height: 100%;
padding: 0px 15px;
line-height: inherit;
text-decoration: none;
color: #fff;
background-color: #229dfc;
}
.navigation ul > li a:active,
.navigation ul > li a:hover {
background-color: #114e7e;
}
.navigation ul > li .submenu {
display: inherit;
height: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
-webkit-transition: all 500ms ease-out;
transition: all 500ms ease-out;
}
.navigation ul > li a:active + .submenu,
.navigation ul > li a:hover + .submenu,
.navigation ul > li .submenu:active,
.navigation ul > li .submenu:hover {
height: 195px;
}
<div id="efmainmenu" class="easyflexMenu">
<nav class="navigation">
<ul class="mainmenu">
<li class="home">Home</li>
<li class="about">About</li>
<li class="products">Products
<ul class="submenu">
<li>Tops</li>
<li>Bottoms</li>
<li>Footwear</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="contact">Contact us</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
Update: Elements below .submenu should not jump
Just add a position: absolute and z-index: 50 to the .navigation ul > li .submenu like this example
.navigation ul {
display: inline-block;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
list-style: none;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
}
.navigation ul > li {
position: relative;
display: block;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
width: 170px;
min-height: 65px;
line-height: 65px;
}
.navigation ul > li a {
display: block;
height: 100%;
padding: 0px 15px;
line-height: inherit;
text-decoration: none;
color: #fff;
background-color: #229dfc;
}
.navigation ul > li a:active,
.navigation ul > li a:hover {
background-color: #114e7e;
}
.navigation ul > li .submenu {
position: absolute;
display: inherit;
height: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
-webkit-transition: all 500ms ease-out;
transition: all 500ms ease-out;
z-index: 50;
}
.navigation ul > li a:active + .submenu,
.navigation ul > li a:hover + .submenu,
.navigation ul > li .submenu:active,
.navigation ul > li .submenu:hover {
height: 195px;
}
<div id="efmainmenu" class="easyflexMenu">
<nav class="navigation">
<ul class="mainmenu">
<li class="home">Home</li>
<li class="about">About</li>
<li class="products">Products
<ul class="submenu">
<li>Tops</li>
<li>Bottoms</li>
<li>Footwear</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="contact">Contact us</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
The simple solution should be to make the UI as responsive as possible by ignoring the use of properties such as negative margin, fixed width until and unless required without no way around.
Also always reset default CSS margin and padding for every element in the beginning which is helpful to remove the white space around the elements and around the page.
I have modified your CSS a bit. If you still think it requires more width or space, try adding padding on the anchor element instead of fixed width to .easyflexMenu.

The <ul> in my nav extends to the side of the page

I have a nested <ul> within my nav ul. When the <ul> has only one element its padding is fine and the <li> fits nicely. However when I have more than one element in the nested <ul> it extends to the side of the page. I can see nothing to do with padding changes in my :first-child or anything in my css for the nested <ul>.
The nested ul with multiple elements

Here is the HTML:
<header id="header" class="alt">

}
#header nav ul li a:hover {

Any ideas on how I can keep the width of the <ul> to the max length of one of the items?
Add display block in
#header nav ul li ul li {
border-radius: 4px;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
padding-left: 4px;
padding-top: 1px;
padding-right: 4px;
width: 100%;
color: black;
font-size: 12pt;
display:block;
}
here is the fiddle
Yop!
i checked Your css and the problem was here:
#header nav ul li ul li {
border-radius: 4px;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
padding-left: 4px;
padding-top: 1px;
padding-right: 4px;
width: 100%;
color: black;
font-size: 12pt;
}
Which i changed to this:
#header nav ul li ul li {
border-radius: 4px;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
padding-left: 4px;
padding-top: 1px;
padding-right: 4px;
//width: 100%;
display:table;
color: black;
font-size: 12pt;
}
So now it's getting the width of longest item :)
Hope i helped!

CSS3 slide down menu on hover

I want to build a menu that is CSS only. No jQuery.
I've gotten this far but can't make the menu slide in from the top. Here's a fiddle (oddly enough, it doesn't look like my menu... but all the styles are there)
Some code: The HTML:
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li class="blue"> <a style="text-decoration: none" href="/who-we-are">Who We Are</a>
</li>
<li class="red"> <a style="text-decoration: none" href="/services">Services</a>
<ul>
<li> Post 1
</li>
<li> Post 2
</li>
<li> Post 3
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="orange"><a style="text-decoration: none" href="/packages">Packages</a>
<ul>
<li> Post 1
</li>
<li> Post 2
</li>
<li> Post 3
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="green"><a style="text-decoration: none" href="/contact-us">Contact</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
And my CSS:
.menu {
float: left;
margin-top: 0px;
}
.blue, div.item.blue div {
color: #009dc4;
}
.red, div.item.red div {
color: #fe4f00;
}
.orange, div.item.orange div {
color: #ff5958;
}
.green, div.item.green div {
color: #50c402;
}
.menu ul li a {
display: block;
height: 45px;
padding-top: 18px;
}
.menu ul li a:visited {
color: inherit;
}
.menu ul {

If someone can just help with getting the slide down to work, I'd appreciate it.
Unfortunately there is no way to animate height:0 to height:auto with CSS (as of CSS3). However there is a workaround using max-height documented here: http://css3.bradshawenterprises.com/animating_height/
With that logic I have created a simple example from your JS fiddle. All it does is set the css style max-height:0 on the drop-down <ul> element, some transitions for the max-height css attribute and then a large max-height value on menu hover.
Unfortunately the max-height must be hard-coded (cannot be auto) so we are limited here; but if you are confident that your menus will never exceed say 500px then you would simply put 500px.
Here's the fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/6ame5wcu/4/
All you need to do is to set max-height:0; and overflow:hidden; then add a transition on it like this:
.menu ul li ul {
max-height:0em;
overflow:hidden;
position: absolute;
top: 45px;
transition:max-height .9s ease
}
on :hover set a max-height ie max-height:600px;
.menu ul li:hover ul {
max-height:600px;
}
