Navbar Help

I create a dropdown menu and I like it, but everything it dropdown it moves around other objects like the title and stuff. How can I set it so the dropdown fall over the rest of the object in its way and not move them around.

Try this:

ul li {
float: right;
width: 100px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 5px;
position: relative;
}
ul li ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
max-width: 100%;
top: 100%;
left: 0;
}

can't promise it will fix all of your problems but its a start.

Definitely a start. It did fix one issue so thank you. I added a new link so people can see the second issue: http://jsfiddle.net/m9vcr4d7/4/ It still overlaps other list items <li>

When does it overlap other list items?

So I know where the issue is I just cant fix it. If you change window size to 540px or less, it should display a vertical menu. It does that but if you select the ROOMS tab for example it will appear off and you cannot select any options from the dropdown menu.

This is what Im going for: http://codecanyon.net/item/modern-vertical-menu/2168420?ref=weblees&ref=weblees&clickthrough_id=271049763&redirect_back=true
