Displaying third tier submenus properly with css only menu

问题

I am developing a new site, and am having problems with the css menu. It is easier to explain by example: Here is the link of the site: http://www.webau.net/CSFF/index.asp

Under the "Home" parent menu item, I have the following configuration:

Top level menu (parent)
    Submenu 1 (child 1)
        Submenu 2 (grandchild 1)
    Submenu 3 (child 2)
    Submenu 4 (child 3)

Instead it appears on the page like this where the grandchild 1 looks like it takes the place of the child 2 menu:

Top level menu (parent)
    Submenu 1 (child 1)
    Submenu 2 (grandchild 1)
    Submenu 4 (child 3)

I can see a slight offset on the listing of Submenu 2.. which makes me think it is an attempt to display the grandchild inappropriately.

So I am assuming I have two problems..

First is that the third tier menu (grandchild submenu 2) is displaying at the same time the second tier menus (child submenus 1, 3, 4) display when you hover over the parent menu item.

And second is that for some reason the grandchild submenu 2 item is displacing (laying ontop of) the child submenu 3.

I think problem two will be fixed when I correct the display of the grandchild submenu.

Can someone help me figure out how to add new css code to deal with the third tier or multi- tier menus .. so they are hidden until their own parent is hovered, and to then display to the right of it's parent's submenu column?

Thanks again for your help. SunnyOz

For your convenience: HTML Code:

<div id="navcontainer">
    <div id="navsection">  
        <ul>
            <li id="navactive"><a class="current" href="#">Home</a>
                <ul>
                    <li><a href="#">submenu 1</a>
                        <ul>
                            <li><a href="#">submenu 2</a></li>
                        </ul>
                    </li>
                    <li><a href="#">submenu 3</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">submenu 4</a></li>
                </ul>
            </li>
            <li><... rest of menu items not needed for example>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>

There are 3 issues here.

You are displaying all <ul/> elements that exist below a hovered <li/>. Change #navsection ul li:hover ul to #navsection ul li:hover > ul to select the immediate child only
You are setting the position of each drop level to be the same. Try adding something like #navsection ul ul ul { top: 1em; left: 140px; }, this will stop the grandchild obscuring the child.
You're title attributes are negatively affecting your navigation. I'd remove them entirely as they do not add any real beneficial information to the link and obscure the menu items making the navigation difficult to use.

I hope that helps :)
