CSS 3 Level Dropdown Menu

Question

so I've having problems with a 3-layer css dropdown menu. Levels 1 and 2 work just fine, but three is not showing up properly, I would like level three to branch to the right. Level three is the Anti-Matter and Deuterium tabs that should come from the "Fuel" link.

I have a jsfiddle with my problem. For those of you who cannot get it to work my code is below. http://jsfiddle.net/IanLueninghoener/fD9eF/

Thanks everyone!

Here's my html:

<div id="nav">
            <ul>
                <li id="firstNavItem"><a href="index.html">Home</li>
                <li><a href="Warp.html">Warp</a>
                    <ul>
                        <li><a href="Warp-how-it-works.html">How it works</a></li>
                        <li><a href="Warp-Engine.html">Warp Engine</a></li>
                        <li><a href="WarpFactors.html">Warp Factors</a></li>
                        <li><a href="">Fuel</a>
                            <ul>
                                <li><a href="Anti-Matter.html">Anti-Matter</a></li>
                                <li><a href="Deuterium.html">Deuterium</a></li>
                           </ul>
                        </li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
                <li><a href="Fact-or-Fiction.html">Fact or Fiction</li>
                <li><a href="StarTrek.html">Star Trek</a>
                    <ul>
                        <li><a href="Enterprise.html">Enterprise</a></li>
                        <li><a href="Voyager.html">Voyager</a></li>

Answer 1

Three steps and you have your 3 levels dropdown.

First, when hovering your 1st level, you only want to show the 2nd one. So instead of having #nav li:hover ul, you should have #nav li:hover > ul.

Second, if you want to be able to have your 3rd level at right of its parent, you will need to set its position to relative so add position:relative; in your class #nav li li

Finally, to show you 3rd level at right of its parent, you will have to add a new style:

#nav li li ul{
    position:absolute;
    top:0;
    left:100%;
}

Here is your updated jsfiddle having a good looking 3 levels dropdown.
