    copied!<p>You can get the effect that you want with a slight change in our HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="container"&gt; &lt;ul id="topnav"&gt; &lt;li &gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;About&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Services&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div class="wrapper"&gt; &lt;div class="sec-nav"&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;What We Do&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;Our Process&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;Testimonials&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Portfolio&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div class="wrapper"&gt; &lt;div class="sec-nav"&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;Web Design&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;Analytics&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="#"&gt;Database Design&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#"&gt;Contact&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Just add a containing block <code>div.wrapper</code> around the block that contains the links.</p> <p>Adjust the CSS as follows:</p> <pre><code>ul#topnav li div.wrapper { padding-top: 40px; /* controls the gap between the menus */ position: absolute; left: 0; top: 33px; /* Add just enough height to clear the text links in top nav */ display: none; text-align:Center; width: 100%; color: #fff; -moz-border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px; -webkit-border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px; } ul#topnav li:hover div.wrapper { display: block; background-color: yellow; /* to show the spacing created by the wrapper */ } ul#topnav li div.sec-nav { background: #558ED5; } ul#topnav li div.sec-nav a { display: inline-block; } ul#topnav li a:hover {text-decoration: underline;} </code></pre> <p>You can see the working demo at: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/cjTym" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/cjTym</a></p> <p><strong>How This Works</strong></p> <p>Basically, adjust <code>top</code> for <code>div.wrapper</code> so that it overlaps the top navigation by a pixel or two. That way, when you don't lose focus when you move the mouse off the top navigation block.</p> <p>Add some top padding in <code>div.wrapper</code> to create the white (yellow) space between the two menus.</p> <p>Finally, apply the background color to the <code>.sec-nav</code> block that wraps your links.</p> <p>Everything else is the same so you should be all set.</p> <p><strong>Aside</strong></p> <p>I used <code>&lt;div&gt;</code> instead of <code>&lt;span&gt;</code> to wrap the links and so on. Alternatively, you could use a span element if you change the display type to block.</p>
