<ul class="select"><li><a href="#nogo"><b>Control Panel</b>

<ul class="sub">
<li>Tickets</li>
<li>Messages</li>
<li>Actions</li>
<li>History</li>
<li>Settings</li>
<li>Destruction</li>
<li>Contacts</li>
<li>Users</li>
<li>Companies</li>
</ul>
</div>

Try using nested <ul>s in your HTML. That is, build your menu like so:
<ul class="menu">
<li>
<a>My Link</a>
<ul class="submenu">
<li><a>My Nested Link</a></li>
</li>
</ul>
Then use a simple Javascript solution like Superfish (or one of your chosing)

and chaged width from 100% to 25%
.menu ul {
display:inline;
list-style:none;
width:100%;
position:relative;
margin-top:40px
}
But I am getting undesired result.

background color not changing on hover css

I used this for styling navigation bar of my webpage but the color is not changing on hover
.nav {
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
overflow:hidden;
}
.nav li {
float: left;
}
.nav li a:hover,.nav li a:active {
background-color:#7A991A;
}
.nav li a:link,.nav li a:visited {
display:block;
width:9em;
font-weight:bold;
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#98bf21;
text-align:center;
padding:4px;
text-decoration:none;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
HTML code:
<ul class = "nav">
<li>Home</li>
<li>Our Products</li>
<li>Contact us</li>
</ul>
can someone suggest what I did wrong?
Either add !important here:
.nav li a:hover,.nav li a:active {
background-color:#7A991A !important;
}
Or move the properties for :hover (and :active) after those for :link.
Replace .nav a:link with .nav li a
demo
.nav li a, .nav li a:visited {
/*here^^^*/
display:block;
width:9em;
font-weight:bold;
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#98bf21;
text-align:center;
padding:4px;
text-decoration:none;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
This is working fine now in the fiddle.
.nav {
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
overflow:hidden;
}
.nav li {
float: left;
}
.nav li a:link,.nav li a:visited {
display:block;
width:9em;
font-weight:bold;
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#98bf21;
text-align:center;
padding:4px;
text-decoration:none;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
.nav li a:hover,.nav li a:active {
background-color:#7A991A;
}
.nav {
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
overflow:hidden;
}
.nav li {
float: left;
}
.nav li a:visited{
background-color:#98bf21;
}
.nav li a:hover,.nav li a:active {
background-color:#7A991A;
}
.nav li a{
display:block;
width:9em;
font-weight:bold;
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#98bf21;
text-align:center;
padding:4px;
text-decoration:none;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
Your a:hover is covered by a:link or so on.
I guess, Since a:hover is of the same level with a:link, Css class at the lower position of the file has higher priority.
You can refer to this:
resolve css conflict
Here is the demo.
.nav {
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
overflow:hidden;
}
.nav li {
float: left;
}
.nav-link {
display:block;
width:9em;
font-weight:bold;
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#98bf21;
text-align:center;
padding:4px;
text-decoration:none;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
.nav-link:hover,.nav-link:active {
background-color:#7A991A;
}
it's not a good practice to nest too many tags, give it a class.
use :link :visited :hover :active only when you want to rewrite the default styles.
css is cascading style sheet, order matters, put .nav-link first to normalize default styles and then overwritten default with :hover and :active.
!important is not a good practice here, just rearrange the order.

How to stylize second level dropdown menu list

I made a drop down menu, which works fine for top level items.
But I dunno what CSS to add for second level menu items, to be move them to the right side of the hovered item.
Here is my HTML content:
<ul class="menu">
<li><a href="#" >item1</a></li>
<li>item2</li>
<li>item3
<ul>
<li>subitem1</li>
<li>subitem2</li>
<li>subitem3
<ul>
<li>subsubitem1</li>
<li>subsubitem2</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>subitem4</li>
<li>subitem5</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>item4</li>
<li>item5</li>
</ul>
and my actual CSS:
.menu {
border:none;

margin:0px;
padding:0px;
font: 67.5%"Lucida Sans Unicode", "Bitstream Vera Sans", "Trebuchet Unicode MS", "Lucida Grande", Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;

I'm trying to do a submenu of a submenu of a list menu and told that this may work but i dont know how to add it to css. and weather or not the styles would apply to it if its put into css.
[SOLVED]
Okay, so i managed to solve this ( and now I just have to style widths and hovers ). What I Did was chuck in the css from the answer below, added in this css aswell
.tabs .widget ul, .tabs .widget ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: visible;
list-style: none;
}
For some reason it was set to { overflow:hidden ; } (wtf!) so i changed that and it seemed to overflow correctly now.
In the menu html, I changed
<ul>
<li><a href="#" >item1</a></li>
....
</ul>
to
<ul class="menu_top">
<li><a href="#" >item1</a></li>
....
</ul>
on line one of the given html.
Now all that I need to do is style {width:225px; } and change the :hover element, thanks for everyones help!
You can use the following CSS:
ul.menu_top {
float:left;
width:70%;
margin: 8px 100px 0 0;
border-radius:4px;
background-color: #c4092a;
list-style-type: none;
z-index:+1;
}
ul.menu_top li {
float: left;
position: relative;
margin: 4px 2em 4px 4px;
padding: 0;
}
ul.menu_top li ul {
visibility: hidden;
position: absolute;
top:100%;
left:0px;
padding:0.5em;
list-style-type: none;
white-space:nowrap;
background-color: #c4092a;
border: 1px solid white;
border-radius:4px;
z-index:+1;
}
ul.menu_top li:hover > ul {
visibility: visible;
z-index: +2;
}
ul.menu_top li ul li {
padding: 0;
margin: 12px 4px;
float:none;
border:0;
min-width:3em;
}
ul.menu_top li ul li ul {
top:0;
left:99%;
}
ul.menu_top a {
background-color:#c4092a;
color:white;
text-decoration:none;
padding:4px;
font-size:18px
}
ul.menu_top a:hover, ul.menu_top a.haschildren.childselected, ul.menu_top a.selected {
background-color:white;
color:blue;
text-decoration:none;
}
ul.menu_top li a.haschildren:after {
content:"\00A0\00A0\25BC";
}
a {
color:#0000aa;
background-color:inherit;
}
body, ul, li { /* normalize for old browsers*/
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
It's taken from my old question. The .menu_top class is used only for distinguishing between the navigation menu and another unordered lists.

Without completely reworking your code, just think of added a bottom border per 'li'...
Remove your id='grey' and add your border-bottom to your #header li {}. Refresh but note how your 'sub' menus then each have a bottom border now. They inherited it, so you then need to turn those off...hence add border-bottom: none to the #header ul ul li declaration.
Now...if we did a quick rework of your code...
HTML
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<div id="navwrapper">
<ul id="nav">
<li><span>Home</span></li>
<li>link2</li>
<li>link3
<ul class="sub">
<li>sub</li>
<li>sub2</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>link4</li>
<li>link5</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
CSS
html, body { margin:10px;padding:0; }
#wrapper, #header, #navwrapper { margin: 0 auto 0 auto; }
#nav {
padding:0;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
line-height:30px;
height:30px;
list-style:none }
#nav li {
border-bottom: solid #a0a0a0 10px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
float:left;
background-color:#000099;
}
#nav a {
text-align:center;
font-family:fantasy;
text-decoration:none;
display:block;
height:30px;
width:150px;
color:black;
}
#nav li:hover { background-color:blue; }
#nav li:hover .sub {
visibility:visible;
opacity: 1;
}
#nav .sub a { color:#00c; }
#nav .sub {
margin:0;
padding:0;
position:absolute;
opacity: 0;
visibility: hidden;
transition: all .1s ease-in;
list-style: none;
}
#nav .sub li { clear:both; border-bottom: none; }
Using more naming conventions with your sub menus is safer than just drilling down through the css. You also need to note that any top-level CSS declaration is inherited by all the children within. Such that if you declare #nav li as being black but want all the 'sub' list elements to be blue, that needs to be stated explicitly...AFTER the initial declaration in the CSS document.
Hope this helped...

CSS navigation bar

I am playing around with CSS and so far I'am trying to make a website. I making a navigation bar and it's going down so it's horizontal. I need it to go across and I also need like 1 grey line to separate the tabs out. This is what I got so far.
HTML:
<div class="horizontal">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Register</li>
<li>Rules</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS:
div.horizontal
{
width:809px;
height:63px;
position:relative;
top: -1046px;
left: 104px;
}
div.horizontal ul
{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
div.horizontal li
{
float:left;
}
div.horizontal a
{
display:block;
width:809px;
}
div.horizontal a:link,div.horizontal a:visited
{
font-weight:bold;
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#000000;
text-align:center;
padding:4px;
text-decoration:none;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
div.horizontal a:hover,div.horizontal a:active
{
background-color:#999999;
}
So again this goes downwards , i need it to go to the side and just have like a single line which separate every tab out.
div.horizontal
{
width:809px;
height:63px;
position:relative;
left: 104px;
}
div.horizontal ul
{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
div.horizontal li
{
display: inline-block;
margin-left:5px;
}
div.horizontal a
{
display:block;
width:809px;
}
div.horizontal a:link,div.horizontal a:visited
{
font-weight:bold;
display: inline;
color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#000000;
padding:4px;
text-decoration:none;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
div.horizontal a:hover,div.horizontal a:active
{
background-color:#999999;
}
