I am coding an HTML page where I've incorporated CSS for the styling. However, I'm facing an issue with the drop-down menu. Whenever I try to click on a drop-down option, it disappears. How can I fix this?
I want the drop-down options to be clickable, organized in categories, and function properly. What am I missing in my code?
#mid ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
}
/*Creating a horizontal list with spacing*/
#mid li {
display: inline-block;
float: left;
margin-right: 1px;
}
/*Styling the menu links*/
#mid li a {
display: block;
min-width: 140px;
height: 50px;
text-align: center;
line-height: 50px;
font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: #fff;
background: #2f3036;
text-decoration: none;
}
/*Hover effect for top-level links*/
#mid li:hover a {

}
/*Styling for drop-down links*/
#mid li:hover ul a {

line-height: 40px;
}
/*Hover effect for drop-down links*/
#mid li:hover ul a:hover {

}
/*Hiding the dropdown links initially*/
