Menu
I haven't done a lot of work with multi-level, pure CSS drop-down menus before, but I'm now looking for the cleanest possible method that is out there. When I've searched for this online I've found a lot of solutions that were 4-5 years old and I'm not sure whether there are better ways to achieve this than to do something like this.

.third-level-menu
{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: -150px;
width: 150px;
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
display: none;
}
.third-level-menu > li
{
height: 30px;
background: #999999;
}
.third-level-menu > li:hover { background: #CCCCCC; }
.second-level-menu
{
position: absolute;
top: 30px;

width: 150px;
list-style: none;

.second-level-menu > li

width: 150px;
background: #999999;
}
.top-level-menu > li:hover { background: #CCCCCC; }
.top-level-menu li:hover > ul
{
/* On hover, display the next level's menu */
display: inline;
}
/* Menu Link Styles */
.top-level-menu a /* Apply to all links inside the multi-level menu */
{
font: bold 14px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 0 0 0 10px;
/* Make the link cover the entire list item-container */
display: block;
line-height: 30px;
}
.top-level-menu a:hover { color: #000000; }<ul class="top-level-menu">
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Services</a></li>
<li>
<a href="#">Offices</a>
<ul class="second-level-menu">
<li><a href="#">Chicago</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Los Angeles</a></li>
<li>
<a href="#">New York</a>
<ul class="third-level-menu">
<li><a href="#">Information</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Book a Meeting</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Testimonials</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Jobs</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Seattle</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
