2,715 PointsI don't see any code included here but I can tell you that when I first started out learning how to create drop down menus using pure css one of the mistakes I made involved setting up my list items correctly. You want to set your sub - ul tags with in the il tags of the section you are nesting the drop down list regardless of the level you are working on.

Courses Plus Student 3,435 PointsI can't get you can you please share your comment as "code".I could understand it better please it's really important..

2,715 PointsOk, try this...
<ul>
<li> candy
<ul>
<li>gum</li>
<li>taffy</li>
<li>suckers
<ul>
<li>grape</li>
<li>Blueberry<//li>
</li>cherry</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>contact</li>
</ul>
Notice that after candy I didn't close the li tag until after the ul that will drop down from that list item. And the l2 layer menu is nested within the "suckers" list item the same way.
when targeting the sub layers in css you simply:
ul {
}
ul li {
}
ul li ul {
}
ul li ul li {
}
ul li ul li ul {
}
uil li ul li ul li {
}
```Or you can assign classes to the ul's. Does that help at all? I would also like to see your code if you can post it.
