Challenges encountered with the css dropdown menu when hovering over li elements

Occasionally, I encounter a problem with my menu.

Hovering over the "produkter" menu item should trigger a submenu to appear. Most of the time, I am able to navigate down the submenu with my mouse cursor. However, on some occasions, the submenu disappears when I move my mouse to it.

For a demonstration, visit this link:

I followed a tutorial for this technique, but I am unable to identify my mistake.

Can someone help me identify the error?

Below is the complete CSS code for my menu:

ul#piranya-menu-1
{
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
list-style: none;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
width: auto;
line-height: 1.5em;
width: 750px;
position: relative;
display: inline-table;
}
ul#piranya-menu-1:after
{
content: "";
clear: both;
display: block;
}
ul#piranya-menu-1 > li
{
float: right;
height: 100%;
}
ul#piranya-menu-1 > li > a
{
padding: 0px 10px;
color: white;
font-weight: normal;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 16px;
font-family: Verdana;
height: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
line-height: 70px;
display: block;
}
ul#piranya-menu-1 > li:hover
{
background: url('/image/1297') repeat-x;
}
ul#piranya-menu-1 > li:hover > a
{
color: black;
}
ul#piranya-menu-1 > li:hover > ul
{
display: block;
}

ul#piranya-menu-1 > li.piranya-menu-item-selected-root a
{
background: url('/image/1297') repeat-x;
color: black;
}
/*Submenu*/
ul#piranya-menu-1 > li > ul
{
display: none;
background-color: white;
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
list-style: none;
padding: 20px;
}
ul#piranya-menu-1 > li > ul li
{
float: none; 
position: relative;
}
ul#piranya-menu-1 > li > ul a
{
color: black;
}

Answer №1

I've identified the issue.

The culprit is the div with the class "tp-bannertimer"... it's hidden, but it's there.

This div's width is expanding, causing it to overlap the menu item and obstruct its child elements (submenu). Hovering over this div causes the submenu to malfunction. You can refer to the image I captured to visualize the problem. Notice that its z-index is set at 20000, so adjust it to be below the submenu's z-index to resolve the issue.

Right-click on the image and select "View image" for a closer look.

I hope this explanation clears things up. If you need further clarification, feel free to ask :)

Answer №2

Greetings Alex!

I have encountered this issue multiple times and have found that the solution is to make the link the same size as the list item, not just the text. Additionally, style the list item with the desired size.

For a quick, basic code example, you can check out this link.

UPDATE

The issue has been identified. There is a slider timer located under the menu. Removing it (as it is not visible) should resolve the problem.

Alternatively, reducing its excessively large z-index of 20000 would also fix the issue.
