CSS Dropdown with a Smooth Transition

I found this awesome blog post about how to create a simple CSS dropdown using CSS3 transitions.

So I made a demo using that technique which I'm pretty happy with.

Now supporting mobile devices ...

I added a few lines of JQuery so on a touch screen you can click to open the menu.

$(document).ready( function(){

    $('#submenu').click( function(event){
        event.stopPropagation();
        $('#drop').toggle();
    });

    $(document).click( function(){
        $('#drop').hide();
    });

});
