Where and how do I find a section to review creating a dropdown menu with HTML and CSS

Is there a way to search for specific information?

If there's nothing here I would try g00gling "CSS only dropdown" and see what comes up...

Good luck!

Thanks Jamie, I'm creating a 3 level menu using CSS only. I have a top menu which when hovered over, the 2nd level menu appears. I am looking for a solution where the applicable 3rd submenu only displays when hovering over the specific 2nd menu <li>. Currently all the 3rd level <li> appear as well when hovering over the top menu. Any ideas for a solution. Thanks.

Can you please show us the code you have now, and we can see what we can do?

CSS isn't really meant to handle complex user interactions, that's really what JavaScript is for... but it might be possible.

Thank you Iain for getting back to me. However, in the meantime I figured it out. I used parent > child in my hover codes (example below) and it works.

topnav .nav li:hover > a

Thanks again.

I'd encourage you to share your code in this forum post so others can see what you did to achieve your desired result. Not just the selector you needed, but the rest of it too.

Only if you want to of course... :)
