Dropdown Menu Disappears; Too Much Space between Nav and Dropdown Menu

  • Hi, I’ve been trying to add a dropdown menu to a custom-made theme but there is too much space between the main nav items and the dropdowns relative to them, so they disappear.

    Here is the CSS for it:

    #access ul ul {
    box-shadow: 0px 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
    -moz-box-shadow: 0px 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
    -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
    display: none;
    position: absolute;
    top: 38px;
    left: 0;
    float: left;
    width: 180px;
    z-index: 99999;
    }
    #access ul ul li {
    min-width: 180px;
    }
    #access ul ul ul {
    left: 100%;
    top: 0;
    }
    #access ul ul a {
    background: #fff;
    line-height: 1em;
    padding: 10px;
    width: 160px;
    height: auto;
    }
    #access li:hover > a,
    #access ul ul :hover > a {
    background: #fff;
    color: #c2042a;
    }
    #access ul li:hover > ul {
    display: block;

    So the CSS responsible is the top value:

    #access ul ul {
...
top: 38px;
...
}
