thankyou for your answers badly need your help for this projects thankyou for those who will answer

You need to specify the width of the ul as 100% otherwise the float:left on it collapses the uls width.
The just float the last li to the right.

#menu li > ul {
display: none;
}
#menu li:hover > ul {
display: block;
}
#menu li ul li {

text-decoration:none;
}
#menu li {
background-color: green;
padding: 10px;
height: 30px;
list-style: none;

Web Navigation Bar Will Not Center

Trying to get the words in my navigation bar to center. I have tried a bunch of different configs that I found online and so far no luck.
Also, is there anything I can do to make the navigation bar appear cleaner and more professional?

UPDATE #3 (with new info from OP)
in order to achieve what you want, just make this changes below on your CSS:
.nav-container {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #d4dadd !important;
box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888 !important;
float: left;
font-size: 0;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 10px 0;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
width: 100%;
}
#nav li {
border-right: 1px solid #000;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 12px;
height: 50px;
list-style: none outside none;
margin: 5px 0;
padding: 5px;
position: relative;
vertical-align: top;
width: 15%;
}
#nav ul li, #nav ul li.active {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #d4dadd;
border-right: 0 none;
display: block;
float: none;
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
}
/*you may delete this:
#nav ul li.last {
}*/

CSS, Text-Decoration: Overline

I'm trying to create an overline effect on hover with css. What I have so far is below. Here's the problem I have, the over line appears directly above the text. I want there to be some space b/w them. Here is my site: http://baycity2014.weebly.com, and here's the effect I'm going for: http://www.hartlevin.com. Any advice?
CSS:
#nav-wrap .container {

#nav-wrap .container {

/*height:45px;*/
}
#nav-wrap .container ul {
list-style: none;
}
#nav-wrap .container ul li {
list-style: none;
float: left;
/* background:url(nav-saperator-medium.jpg) no-repeat right;*/
padding-right:2px;
}
#nav-wrap .container ul > li:first-child a,
#nav-wrap .container ul > li:first-child a:hover,
#nav-wrap .container ul span:first-child li a,
#nav-wrap .container ul span:first-child li a:hover{
border-radius:5px 0px 0px 5px;
}
#nav-wrap .container ul li a {
float: left;

padding: 0px 30px;
border: 0px solid;
outline: 0;
list-style-type: none;
font-size: 16px;
line-height:45px;
/*text-shadow: 0px -1px 0px #333333;*/
}
#nav-wrap .container ul li:hover {
/*background:url(nav-saperator-hover-medium.jpg) no-repeat right;*/
}
#nav-wrap .container ul li a:hover {
/*background:url(nav-bg-hover-medium.jpg) repeat-x top ;*/
color: #145D85;

}

You should use border-top instead of overline, with some padding-top to pad up the spacing between the string and the top overline.
Just note that am using border-top: 4px solid transparent; which is just a transparent border to reserve the space, because if you won't use that, your menu items will shake on :hover as CSS Default Box Model counts the border outside the element instead of inside, which will result in element nudging..
Demo
HTML
<ul>
<li>Hello</li>
<li>World</li>
</ul>
CSS
ul {
margin: 40px;
}
ul li {
display: inline-block;
padding-top: 5px;
margin-right: 10px;
border-top: 4px solid transparent;
}
ul li:hover {
border-top: 4px solid #f00;
}
Controlling the width using :before or :after pseudo, HTML stays as above..
Demo 2
CSS
ul {
margin: 40px;
}
ul li {
display: inline-block;
padding-top: 8px;
margin-right: 10px;
position: relative;
}
ul li:after {
position: absolute;
width: 90%;
content: "";
top: 0;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -45%;
}
ul li:hover:after {
border-top: 4px solid #f00;
}
they use border-top instead of overline. Please change this
#nav-wrap .container ul li a:hover {
/*background:url(nav-bg-hover-medium.jpg) repeat-x top ;*/
color: #145D85;
text-decoration:overline;
}
into this
#nav-wrap .container ul li a {
border-top:2px solid transparent;
}
#nav-wrap .container ul li a:hover {
color: #145D85;
border-top:2px solid #145D85;
}
<ul>
<li> Item 1 </li>
<li> Item 2 </li>
<li> Item 3
<ul>
<li> Sub Item 1 </li>
<li> sub Item 1 </li>

}
ul li ul li
{
background-color:#ffffff;
height:100%;
padding:10px;
}
ul li ul li a
{
color:#003366;
}
fiddle
Output:
You could place your menu in a <span></span> and set border-top for that span.

Trouble with second nested menu

I'm having an issue with adding a child menu to my first drop down menu. Basically this is the structure I am going for:
<ul id="nav" class="sixteen columns">
<li>Home</li>
<li>Portfolio
<ul>
<li>Asia
<ul>
<li>Korea</li>
<li>China</li>
<li>Japan</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Europe
<ul>
<li>France</li>
<li>Germany</li>
<li>Italy</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
And here is the CSS I am using:
#nav {
font-family: lanenar;
font-size: 1.2em;
z-index: 999;
position: relative;
}
#nav ul ul {
display: none;
}
#nav ul li:hover > ul {
display: block;
}
#nav ul {
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
background: #111;
}
#nav ul li {
float: left;
}
#nav ul li a {
padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px;
display: block;
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
}
#nav ul li:hover {
background: #666;
}
#nav ul li:hover a {
color: #FFF;
}
#nav ul li:hover > ul { margin: 0px; padding: 0px;}
#nav ul li:hover > ul li { float: none; display: block;}
#nav ul li:hover > ul li a { color: #FFF; min-width: 150px;}
#nav ul li:hover > ul li a:hover {color: #FFF;}
#nav ul li {
position: relative;
}
#nav ul li ul {
position: absolute;
top: 28px;
left: 0px;
}
I am having a hard time figuring out what CSS I need to add to have the 2nd nested menu appear to the right when you mouseover Asia or Europe?
Any help would be much appreciated!

menu hovering and padding on top and bottom

i've a menu with sub menus in it, i've added border at bottom while hovering but when i hover on the menu the menu height increases a bit, the whole menu takes a space at top and bottom when i put it in a div.
here is my fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/p7Nsf/
<div class="head"></div>
<div class="menudiv">
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About
<ul>
<li>School</li>
<li>Vision and Mission </li>
<li>Principal’s desk
<li>Management
</ul> </li>
<li>Admission
<ul>
<li>Overview</li>
<li>Download application form</li>
</ul> </li>
<li>Gallery</li>
<li>School Calander</li>
<li>News & Events</li>
<li>Career</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</div>

Try this, your menu item jumps because you are adding border to the item so it increases its height by the 3 px border
.menu ul li {
float: left;
border-bottom: 3px solid transparent;
}

reduce padding on the anchor to compensate for the 3px
.menu ul li a {
padding-bottom: 7px;
}

Update
.menu ul {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #111312;
border: 3px solid #111312;
display: inline-table;
list-style: none outside none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: relative;
}
I removed the display prop
