I have this CSS menu:
http://jsfiddle.net/7JC8t/
If you hover your mouse over 'inostranstvo' you will see a dropdown open below it. What I've been trying to do but failing is to get the dropdown items to look like the items in the horizontal menu.
So when a user hovers over 'inostranstvo' the items that show up should have: the same width (width of the widest item), same height and background as the existing menu items.
The background is easy, but I can't force the height and I don't know how to align the widths. This doesn't do anything:
#nav li:hover ul li{
height:55px;
line-height:55px;
width:200px;
}
The width value is random, what's most important is the height, which I can't seem to force on the list items. On the other hand, adding a border works, but it adds it inside the red background area. I'm sure this can't be complicated, but I can't figure it out.
Have you tried to set the submenu li elements to "display-type: block"?
I have added the following css to JSFiddle and it seems to work:
#nav li:hover ul li {
display: block;
background: #DE2211;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}

I have this unordered list I've styled into a menu. I want the blue menu items to be centered underneath the top level red menu items, so I've given the red menu items a display of flex:
nav > ul > li > a {
color: red;
display:flex;
justify-content:center;
}
The problem is when the red menu items are hovered over the blue menu items push the other red menu items out of the way.

Any ideas how to fix this without JS?
Add this to your CSS:
ul ul {position: absolute;}
By making their positions absolute, you take them out of the document flow so they don't "push things around."
Hi I am having trouble getting my submenus to line up nicely below my menu items. I've tried researching it but almost everything gives ideas for floating menus, instead of a display:table one like I've done.
Here's a snippet: http://codepen.io/ruchiccio/pen/ZGGQvR
You can line the submenu up to the left side of the parent menu items by removing padding on the nested ul elements.
#navigation1 nav ul li ul{
position:absolute;
display:none;
padding: 0;
}

I have a problem with my dropdown or submenu. It worked perfectly fine before, but after I changed my menu to be floating, the submenu won't show anymore.
this is the code I used for menu:
border-bottom:2px solid #e9e9e9;
position:fixed;
width:2000px;
background-color:#ffffff;
padding-left:605px;
padding-right:210px;
margin-right:-200px;
And this is my website

could you help me on how to fix this plz
Nested ULs are hidden by display: none in the default state, and you never change this property to block.
.sf-menu li:hover > ul {
display: block !important; /* importnat isn't necessary if you know how strong selector you need to use */
}
Than, you set width: 100% for submenu, but it´s width of their parent (LI). You want probably set higher width, or don´t set the width exactly and use only white-space: nowrap - submenu will have the width of the longest item.
I am trying to create a horizontal navigation menu. The menu needs to be full screen width, with a border bottom running the whole width too. I have more or less acheived this apart from I would like to have a margin of about 15px under the menu, and for this to use the background color of my menu. Also when an item is hovered, the hover color should extend under the border too if that makes sense.
Here is a fiddle of my menu so far - http://jsfiddle.net/J74eE/2/
Tried to insert my code here but the li items got converted to bullets
I have set a margin under the container nav, and I would like the border color to be used on the margin area too. I would also like to somehow have the li items hover color to extend under the border too but I have no idea how this might be acheived. If I put the margin and border on the li items the border won't run the full width of the screen.
Update
Updated my fiddle to include a mock-up of what I want to acheive - http://jsfiddle.net/J74eE/3/
I can't use padding as that pushes the border-bottom down, and I want to have a border with background-color underneath it.
Try to replace your margin by a padding.

.nav-menu {
background-color:#FEFFE5;
clear:both;
float:left;
padding:0px 0px 15px 0px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #dbd7d4;
width:100%;
font-size:13px;
z-index:1000; /* This makes the dropdown menus appear above the page content below */
position:relative;
}
I hope you are looking for this: DEMO
CSS
.nav-menu:after {
background-color:#FEFFE5;
position:absolute;
content:"";
left:0;
right:0;
height:15px;
top:40px;
}
You can use after and before pseudo classes for your desired result.

If you visit the above link you see what am describing below.
Summary: I have set the z-index of the submenu to 99 and the z-index top level menu to 9..
So basically i was thinking when i move the mouse over to the 1st menu, the 1st submenu will stay in focus when i move the mouse over the items of the submenu.
But for some reason in Firefox 11.0 it switches over to the 2nd Top Level Menu when i try to move my mouse over the 2nd/3rd/4th items of the first sub menu.
In IE 7 : It works as desired by i can still see the border of the 2nd Top Level Menu overlapping the items of the sub-menu even tho their z-index is higher. The border problem can be even seen in firefox.
Can someone shed some light where i might be going wrong?
This should fix it, I hope.
#menu li ul li {
position: relative;
}
Beware of the stacking context of the z-index. What you want is not working for parent-child z-indices.
The problem is that the parent li of the submenu is not as wide as the submenu (4x times smaller). So if you hover to the right, the li loses focus.
One way to solve this, is setting z-index: 0 on al ul submenus and z-index: 1 on the current submenu. The submenu's should have position: absolute.
Update: Solution with position: relative (accepted answer) is really a good one. This is working because the lis of the submenu do not make the parent container larger since they are left floated.
You must change the height in #menu li
#menu li {
width: 140px;
height: 25px;
float: left;
border-right: 1px inset white;
z-index: 9;
}
The other way you can go to keep your borders at 50px is when you add to the CSS something like this.
#menu li:hover ~ li{
height:25px;
}
