Question

I have a sub navigation which is placed in two different places on different browsers, and I’m unsure why. I do realise that using margin-top instead of top does fix this but the problem with that is that I have a jQuery slide animation when the sub navigation comes out and it doesn’t look nice when I use margin-top since it comes out further up than it is. Here is a picture of the difference:

HTML:

    <div id="navigation">
        <ul>
            <li><h1>01. About</h1><h2>Learn about us</h2></li>
            <li class="button"><h1>02. Products</h1><h2>View our selection of products</h2>
                <ul class="scrollDown">
                    <li><p>Kitchen Worktops</p></li>
                    <li><p>Upstands/Splashbacks</p></li>
                    <li><p>Gables/ Panels</p></li>
                    <li><p>Glass</p></li>

                </ul>
            </li>
            <li><h1>03. Contact</h1><h2>Contact us!</h2></li>

Hi now define your ID #navigation ul display:inline-block; than adjects your id #navigation ul ul in top

As like this

    #navigation ul {
        display: inline-block;
        position: relative;
        vertical-align: top;
    }
 #navigation ul ul {
        top:48px;
    }
