    <p>I've got a navigation menu that is made of nested ul lists like this: </p> <pre><code>&lt;ul id="menu"&gt; &lt;li class="category top_level"&gt; &lt;a href="#" class="category_name top_level_link"&gt;top level 1&lt;/a&gt; &lt;ul class="dropdown"&gt; &lt;li class="item " &gt; &lt;a href=""&gt;item 1&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="item "&gt; &lt;a href=""&gt;very long name of item 2&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="category top_level"&gt; &lt;a href="#" class="category_name top_level_link"&gt;longer top level name 2&lt;/a&gt; &lt;ul class="dropdown"&gt; &lt;li class="item " &gt; &lt;a href=""&gt;very long name of item 3&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class="item "&gt; &lt;a href=""&gt;item 4&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p>Current css is: </p> <pre><code> #menu ul{list-style-type:none;} #menu li.top_level{vertical-align:top;zoom:1;display:inline;margin:2px;padding:0 1px 0 0;} #menu .dropdown{float:none;z-index:100;position:absolute;width:180px;height:0;overflow:hidden;-webkit-transition:height 700ms;-moz-transition:height 700ms;} #menu .category:hover .dropdown,#menu .category:focus .dropdown{-webkit-transition:height 940ms;-moz-transition:height 940ms;} #menu .item a,#menu .category a,#menu .category a:visited,#menu .item a:visited{-webkit-transition:background-color 940ms;-moz-transition:background-color 940ms;-webkit-font-smoothing:antialiased;font-size:15px;line-height:1em;text-decoration:none;display:block;font-family:ColaborateLightRegular;color:#555;padding:.6em;} #menu a.top_level_link{color:#555;background:none;padding:.4em .6em;} #menu .dropdown a{text-align:left;} #menu .item a:hover,#menu .category a:hover,#menu .item a:focus,#menu .category a:focus{text-decoration:none;-webkit-transition:all 0;-moz-transition:all 0;background:#d9d2d2;} #menu .selected a{background:#d4d2d2!important;} </code></pre> <p>The top level categories and the list different lengths. I would like the dropdown items to the same width as the top level categories. The top level categories have 'width: auto' in the css. When the widths inherit to the dropdowns, they inherit width as 'auto' rather that inheriting the actual width of the top level. How can I fix this? Here's a picture of what I want versus what I have:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Rxm5L.jpg" alt="example"></p> <p>What do I need to do?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
