Can anyone help with a small problem.
I've got a nice simple CSS dropdown menu
http://www.cinderellahair.co.uk/new/CSSDropdown.html
The problem I have is when you rollover a menu item that has children which are wider than the content, it pushes the whole menu right.
Aside of
shortening the child menu links down, is there any tweak I can make to my CSS to stop this happening?
CSS Code:
/* General */
#cssdropdown, #cssdropdown ul { list-style: none; }
#cssdropdown, #cssdropdown * { padding: 0; margin: 0; }
#cssdropdown {padding:43px 0px 0px 0px;}
/* Head links */
#cssdropdown li.headlink { margin:0px 40px 0px -1px; float: left; background-color: #e9e9e9;}
#cssdropdown li.headlink a { display: block; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px; text-decoration:none; }
#cssdropdown li.headlink a:hover { text-decoration:underline; }
/* Child lists and links */
#cssdropdown li.headlink ul { display: none; text-align: left; padding:10px 0px 0px 0px; font-size:12px; float:left;}
#cssdropdown li.headlink:hover ul { display: block; }
#cssdropdown li.headlink ul li a { padding: 5px; height: 17px; }
#cssdropdown li.headlink ul li a:hover { background-color: #333; }
/* Pretty styling */
body { font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 16px; }
#cssdropdown a { color: grey; } #cssdropdown ul li a:hover { text-decoration: none; }
#cssdropdown li.headlink { background-color: white; }
#cssdropdown li.headlink ul { padding-bottom: 10px;}
