Question

I am trying to create a drop down menu using CSS and HTML, it is working fine but the problem is the sub menu items does not show the full texts. For example: If I hover on the link-1 the sub menu items shows up but I can only see first few of the texts from the sub menu items.

I want to increase the width of ul of the submenu items and see the full texts.

Would you please kindly show me how to do it?

Here’s my COde:

HTML:

    <div id="menu">
    <ul>
    <li><a href="#nogo">Link 1</a>
    <ul>
    <li><a href="#nogo">ABC INFORMATION SYSTEM</a></li>
    <li><a href="#nogo">ABC INFORMATION SYSTEM</a></li>
    <li><a href="#nogo">ABC INFORMATION SYSTEM</a></li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <li><a href="#nogo">Link 2</a>
    <ul>
    <li><a href="#nogo">Link 2-1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#nogo">Link 2-2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#nogo">Link 2-3</a></li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <li><a href="#nogo">Link 3</a>
    <ul>
    <li><a href="#nogo">Link 3-1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#nogo">Link 3-2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#nogo">Link 3-3</a></li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    </ul>
    </div>

to increase the size of the submenus add the following to your css:

#menu ul ul li a{
   width:335px;
   height: 30px;
   display: block;
   text-decoration:none;
   text-align: center;
   line-height: 30px;
   background-color: #A7C66B;
   color: white;
}
