How To Create An Unordered List Inside An Unordered List In A List Menu?

On my page, I'm trying to create an unordered list within an unordered list in my menu so that there is a second dropdown menu. The problem is that the second dropdown menu display

Solution 1:

The key to getting the sub-menu working is to use the child combinator (>) to target direct descendants.

A child combinator describes a childhood relationship between two elements. A child combinator is made of the "greater-than sign" (U+003E, >) character and separates two sequences of simple selectors.

(http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#child-combinators)

The following changes are required:

  • Add the .menu li ul ul setting left: 100%; and top: 0;. This will tell all sub-menus to be positioned against the right edge of its parent menu.
  • Change .menu li:hover ul to .menu li:hover > ul. This will ensure that only the direct child ul is shown when the user hovers over the parent li.
  • Change .menu li ul a:hover, .menu li ul li:hover a to .menu li ul li:hover > a. This will ensure that only the direct child as are highlighted when the user hovers over the parent li.
