Menu
Below is a JSFiddle link of some of my code. I was trying to achieve a slick looking pure html/css drop-down menu without the use of bootstrap or other plug-in sorts. However I can't seem to get the 'Creative' drop-down elements to appear below the navigation bar, they instead appear in-line and I have tried to change other parts of the code to make it work but I can't seem to do it without compromising the rest of the nav-bar.
Please if someone could give it a look at get it so when you hover 'Creative' it's children list elements appear below it. Preferably without just styling padding and margins.

You have a few things wrong. Don't float and assign widths to the anchor tags. Instead float the list items. You'll also need to add position: relative to the li and then add position: absolute; left: 0; top: 100%; to the child ul. That should about do it I think.
