Question

I got a small problem with the dropdown. Please check the following code. The dropdown is not opening when mouse hover on a div area.

        <div class="comp-select-area">
            <div class="comp-select-area-arrow"></div>            
        </div>
            <div class="comp-select-drop">
                <ul>
                    <li>All clicks</li>
                    <li>Favorite
                        <ul>
                            <li>Links</li>
                            <li>Campaigns</li>
                        </ul>
                    </li>
                    <li>Search
                        <ul>
                            <li>Links</li>
                            <li>Campaigns</li>
                        </ul>
                    </li>
                    <li>None</li>
                </ul>
            </div>

Answer 1

.comp-select-area-arrow:hover > .comp-select-drop ul{
display:block;
}

This means select the elements that are direct children of .comp-select-area-arrow. That element has no children because you closed the div. If you change your html to:

<div class="comp-select-area">
  <div class="comp-select-area-arrow">
    <div class="comp-select-drop">

It will work
