Hello everyone,
I want to make a horizontal mega drop down menu. On the first tab, “health”, I have skin care and weight loss pages, which I want to have ‘weight loss’ and ‘skin care’ bolded out as sub-sections inside the drop down. Weight loss has two sub-sections, ‘fitness’ and ‘dieting’. I would like them to appear as headings to sub-sections. I’ll illustrate this the best I can the way I want the ‘health’ tab to look.
Health
---------Weight Loss
-------------------------------Fitness
Page #1, Page #2
-------------------------------Dieting
Page #1, Page #2
---------Skin Care
------------------Page #1, Page #2
The health tab contains the deepest nesting. I have attempted to start my drop down menu with Sitepoint’s Mega Drop Down Menu Tutorial and Sohtanaka’s (Where I got The CSS and modeled my HTML after). Neither tutorial had as deep of nesting mine does. So that’s where I’m confused.
I need to know how to properly nest the Fitness and dieting sections so that they appear to be a category of its own.
Here’s what I’ve attempted:
HTML:
<!-- begin Personal navigation menu -->
<div class="pWrapper">
<ul id="pMenu">
<li style="width:10%;"><a href="http://www.atlantareviewgroup.com/health.php" class="health">health</a>

<ul>

<h3>fitness</h3>
