    <p>Yes, I know: Many have asked this question before. For whatever reason, most of the forums with this question have different solutions. Or they seem different to me (someone who doesn't quite understand how the CSS effects work). </p> <p>Anyways, I'm trying to make a simple dropdown menu with CSS. When you hover over a picture of a dome, a menu should drop down. No other link should have a dropdown menu except for the picture of the dome. The dropdown menu becomes visible when you hover over the dome but disappears when you hover over the menu itself, rendering the menu useless. Thanks for your help.</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;header&gt; &lt;title&gt;Ink Lit Mag&lt;/title&gt; &lt;link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Alef" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"&gt; &lt;link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Della+Respira' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'&gt; &lt;style&gt; /*Toolbar*/ #toolbar { position:fixed; top:0px; left:0px; width:100%; height:50px; background-color:#000000; } #toolbar li { list-style-type:none; float:left; } #toolbarText { position:fixed; top:12px; left:100px; color:#ffffff; font-family: "Alef", sans-serif; font-size:20px; } #dome { position:fixed; top:8px; left:5px; width:28px; height:33.3333333333; } /*Toolbar link effects*/ a.toolbarLink:link { color:#ffffff; text-decoration:none; } a.toolbarLink:hover { color:#ffffff; } a.toolbarLink:visited { color:#ffffff; } a.toolbarLink:active { color:#ffffff; } /*Menu*/ #toolbar .subnav { display:none; position: absolute; top:50px; left:0px; width:85px; padding-left:5px; padding-right:5px; padding-top:5px; padding-bottom:0px; background-color:#c0c0c0; } ul#primaryNav li:hover .subnav { display:block; } /*Menu link effects*/ a.menuLink:link { color:#ffffff; text-decoration:none; } a.menuLink:hover { color:#ffffff; background-color:#000000 } a.menuLink:visited { color:#ffffff; } a.menuLink:active { color:#ffffff; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;/header&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div id="toolbar"&gt; &lt;ul id="primaryNav"&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;a class="toolbarLink" id="domeLink" href="http://uiowa.edu"&gt;&lt;img id="dome" src="dome.jpg"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;ul class="subnav" id="subnav"&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="menuLink" href="http://uiowa.edu"&gt;Iowa&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="menuLink" href="http://clas.uiowa.edu"&gt;CLAS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="menuLink" href="http://magidcenter.uiowa.edu"&gt;Magid Center&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;span id="toolbarText"&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="toolbarLink" href="http://inklitmag.uiowa.edu"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="toolbarLink" href="http://inklitmag.uiowa.edu/about"&gt;About&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="toolbarLink" href="https://inklitmag.submittable.com/submit"&gt;Submit&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="toolbarLink" href="http://inklitmag.tumblr.com"&gt;Blink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a class="toolbarLink" href="http://inklitmag.uiowa.edu/previousissues"&gt;Previous Issues&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COinstead of setting the `height:50px;` on your menu, set it on the `li` items and get rid of the height declaration on the menu. that way the menu's height will automatically expand for the submenu when it appears. right now it will remain at `50px` and when u leave that height range it is no longer activating the hover.

    2. COPlantThelda—Thank you, that makes a lot of sense. I tried adding it to li, #toolbar li, ul, etc. Hasn't worked in Chrome yet. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

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.
