How to make a nested sub menu on horizontal navigation bar vertical?
Question
So I created a horizontal navigation bar, but I want the sub menu to appear vertically when hovered over, but whatever I tried, it still appears horizontally.
Here's a JSFiddle of my code: https://jsfiddle.net/ma85nbgx/
And below is my HTML and CSS.
HTML
<div class="nav"> <!-- Start of Nav Bar -->
<ul>
<li class="home"><a href="#">HOME</a></li>
<li class="aboutus"><a href="#">ABOUT US</a></li>
<li class="services"><a href="#">SERVICES</a>
<ul>
<li class="programs"><a href="#">PROGRAMS</a></li>
<li class="events"><a href="#">EVENTS</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="resources"><a href="#">RESOURCES</a></li>
<li class="getinvolved"><a href="#">GET INVOLVED</a></li>
<li class="contactus"><a href="#">CONTACT US</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS
.nav ul {
list-style: none;
text-align: center;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.nav ul li {
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
border-bottom: none;
height: 86px;
line-height: 86px;
font-size: 14px;
display: inline-block;
float:left;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.nav ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
color:#000000;
display: block;
transition: .3s background-color;
padding:0 24px;
}
.nav ul li a:hover {
background-color: #5c89c7;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
.nav a {
border-bottom:none;
}
.nav li ul {
position:absolute;
display:none;
width:inherit;
}
.nav li:hover ul {
display:block;
}
.nav ul li ul li {
display: block;
}
Most of the websites or answer I went through said to put display:block on the nested sub menu, but I tried that and it still displays horizontally, any help would be appreciated!

try to something like this. Add the following css
.dropdown li{
float: none !important;
}
Add .dropdown class in your sub-menu UL like this.
<ul class="dropdown">

put display flex and flex-direction on your wrap of submenu itself.
check this out
nav ul { list-style: none; text-align: center; padding: 0; margin: 0; width:100%; display:flex; flex-direction:row; flex-wrap:wrap; } nav ul li { font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; border-bottom: none; height: 86px; line-height: 86px; font-size: 14px; margin: 0 auto; position:relative; } nav ul li a { text-decoration: none; color:#000000; display: block; transition: .3s background-color; padding:0 24px; } nav ul li a:hover { background-color: #5c89c7; color:#FFFFFF; } nav a { border-bottom:none; } nav .withSubMenu ul{ display: none; } .withSubMenu:hover ul { display:flex; width:100%; flex-direction:column; }
<nav> <!-- Start of Nav Bar --> <ul> <li class="home"><a href="#">HOME</a></li> <li class="aboutus"><a href="#">ABOUT US</a></li> <li class="services withSubMenu"><a href="#">SERVICES</a> <ul> <li class="programs"><a href="#">PROGRAMS</a></li> <li class="events"><a href="#">EVENTS</a></li> </ul> </li> <li class="resources"><a href="#">RESOURCES</a></li> <li class="getinvolved"><a href="#">GET INVOLVED</a></li> <li class="contactus"><a href="#">CONTACT US</a></li> </ul> </nav>
