Drop Down Menu not pushing the contents down in IE7 - html

I am new on this forum.
I am developing a website using HTML5 and CSS with responsive design. I have a navigation menu which behaves as a simple drop down menu for desktop and laptop
but for tablet and mobile it has a menu button
By clicking on the menu button, it alternatively appear and disappear with display:blocks otherwise display:none and pushes the contents of main area downward
All works fine in Firefox, Chrome and IE but It is not pushing the contents down in IE7
I am stuck here since two days
Here is my HTML Code
<div id="wrapper">
<header id="topHeader">
<div id="topDiv">
<div id="mainDiv">
<div id="logo">
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization"> <a itemprop="url" href="/Default.aspx"> <img itemprop="logo" src="/App_Themes/Default/Images//logo.png" alt=""> </a> </div>

menu bar hover without distortion

I'm making a navigation menu.
I got it all working now but when the sub menu pops up all the html is distorting.
All the div's below are going downwards.
Is there somebody who can help me?
Here is the html with CSS:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Show Hide Dropdown Using CSS</title>
<style type="text/css">
#body
{
width: 1200px;

ul{
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}

text-align: center;
}

display: block;

</div>
</body>
</html>
You need to add :
ul li:hover ul {
display: block; /* display the dropdown */
position:absolute; /* <--- this line */
}
To take the submenu out of the document flow and doesn't push the below content down.
You also need to add :
ul li ul li{
float:none;
}
So that the sub menu items don't display on the same line and stack below each other.

Adding drop down sub menu to code

I have been trying to add a drop down menu to this code but always seem to get turned around. I just want a basic look to the subnav with a simple rollover effect. Every time i try different code it uses home image in the drop down menu and will not disappear when it is not hovered over. Ideas?
HTML:
<ul class="navbar">
<li class="navbar1">Home
<ul class="subnav">
<li>Menu 1 </li>
<li>Menu 2 </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
CSS:
ul.navbar {
width:1000px;
list-style:none;
height:40px;
}
ul.navbar li {
display:inline;
}
ul.navbar li a {
height:40px;
float:left;
text-indent:-9999px;
}
/* Home 0 */
ul.navbar li.navbar1 a {
width:86px;
background:url(../pelican%20outfitters/navbar2.fw.png)
no-repeat 0 0;
}
ul.navbar li.navbar1 a:hover {
background-position:0 -40px;
}
ul.navbar li.navbar1 a.current {
background-position:0 -80px;
}
HTML
<nav>
<ul class="navbar">
<li class="navbar1">Home
<ul class="subnav">
<li>Menu 1
</li>
<li>Menu 2
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
CSS
nav {
margin: 20px auto;
}

display: none;
}
nav ul li:hover > ul {
display: block;
}
nav ul li
{
width:100px;

Output:
Working Fiddle
You should delete the text-indent:-9999px and add this to your css
Delete row:
ul.navbar li a { text-indent:-9999px }
Css:
.navbar li ul {display:none;}
.navbar li:hover ul {display:block;}
Than you have a basic navbar with hidden subnavs.
From here you can try it with your image.
The demo is your code with the new code..
DEMO
More like you want is, dont delete the css.. but only add those 2 lines and this 1:
.navbar li:hover li a{ text-indent:1px; background:white; }
DEMO 2 (without your img (don't know what it is)).
Latest update after the fiddle comment:
You should specify your html and css.. a just added a class to the first link class="home" and to accomodations class="accomodations"
And changed it in the css..
/* Home */
ul.navbar li.navbar1 a.home {
width:86px;
background:url(http://s12.postimg.org/rszejjscd/navbar2_fw.png)
no-repeat 0 0;
}
/* Accomodations */
ul.navbar li.navbar2 a.accomodations {
width:220px;
background: url(http://s12.postimg.org/rszejjscd/navbar2_fw.png) no-repeat -86px 0;
}

Since the li containing services has a class special you can use this to target the element upon hover.
.special:hover{
color: orange;
background: grey;
}
Try to add hover on li not a element:
li:hover > a {
color: #f7823b;
}
Doing so the link keeps style definition even if you points links in submenu.
Take a look: http://jsfiddle.net/8ARm5/5/

Fixed. I think this is what you want http://dabblet.com/gist/2792978
Simply remove position: relative from #nav li and give it to #nav.
