How to create a Vertical Navigation Menu?

Question

Here is a menu using HTML and CSS. Menu items are placed horizontally and submenus use vertical layout. How should main menu items be changed to be layed out vertically too?

<ul>
  <li>
    <a>item1</a>
    <ul>
      <li><a>subitem1</a></li>
      <li><a>subitem1</a></li>
      <li><a>subitem1</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

You have to do some minor changes and it will work as vertical. and as you looking some more style to add on it you can do it easily.

    display: block; /*keep it block*/
    }
#menu ul
{

    top: 0; /*change this */
    left: 100%; /*change this */
}
#menu ul li:first-child > a:after
{
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    left:-13px; /* change this*/
    top:7px; /* change this*/
    width: 0;
    height: 0;
    border: 5px solid transparent; /* change this*/
    /*border-right: 5px solid transparent;*/ /*don't need this*/
    border-right: 8px solid #444; /* change this*/
}

#menu ul li:first-child a:hover:after
{
    border-right-color: #04acec;  /* change this*/
}
