Q1 How can I align the text in my navigation bar drop-down menu without affecting the main nav bar text?
Q2 Is it possible to change the opacity of the background color when a user hovers over a page name on the drop-down menu?
When hovering over a page on the drop-down menu, the white background affects the white text on the menu. I also want to create separate CSS for this part as changing the opacity may affect the main nav bar if accessed from the drop-down menu and the background color of the text turns white.
Here is my code snippet:
