vertical gap on menu without using jquery - css

I was wondering how, in this example, it is possible to have a gap between the menu item and the list.
This is the CSS code for the demo
#colorNav > ul{
width: 450px; /* Increase when adding more menu items */
margin:0 auto;
}
#colorNav > ul > li{ /* will style only the top level li */
list-style: none;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(100, 100, 100, 0.2) inset,1px 1px 1px #CCC;
display: inline-block;
line-height: 1;
margin: 1px;
border-radius: 3px;
position:relative;
}
#colorNav > ul > li > a{
color:inherit;
text-decoration:none !important;
font-size:24px;
padding: 25px;
}
#colorNav li ul{
position:absolute;
list-style:none;
text-align:center;
width:180px;
left:50%;
margin-left:-90px;
top:70px;
font:bold 12px 'Open Sans Condensed', sans-serif;
/* This is important for the show/hide CSS animation */
max-height:0px;
overflow:hidden;
-webkit-transition:max-height 0.4s linear;
-moz-transition:max-height 0.4s linear;
transition:max-height 0.4s linear;
}
#colorNav li ul li{
background-color:#313131;
}
#colorNav li ul li a{
padding:12px;
color:#fff !important;
text-decoration:none !important;
display:block;
}
#colorNav li ul li:nth-child(odd){ /* zebra stripes */
background-color:#363636;
}
#colorNav li ul li:hover{
background-color:#444;
}
#colorNav li ul li:first-child{
border-radius:3px 3px 0 0;
margin-top:25px;
position:relative;
}
#colorNav li ul li:first-child:before{ /* the pointer tip */
content:'';
position:absolute;
width:1px;
height:1px;
border:5px solid transparent;
border-bottom-color:#313131;
left:50%;
top:-10px;
margin-left:-5px;
}
#colorNav li ul li:last-child{
border-bottom-left-radius:3px;
border-bottom-right-radius:3px;
}
/* This will trigger the CSS */
/* transition animation on hover */
#colorNav li:hover ul{
max-height:200px; /* Increase when adding more dropdown items */
}
Here is the link:
http://demo.tutorialzine.com/2012/10/css3-dropdown-menu/

#colorNav li ul li:first-child {
margin-top: 25px;
}
Is what is creating the gap.

overlap off by 1px in Firefox and IE but not in Chrome

In Chrome the ul li ul border is exact over de border of the menu ul, but in Internet Explorer and Firefox it's off by 1px.
http://jsfiddle.net/5qasu929/
#menu ul li ul {
display:none;
position:absolute;
z-index:999;
height:auto;
margin-top:16px;
margin-left:-0px;
background-color:#EFEFEF;
border-bottom:1px solid #C7C7C7;
border-left:1px solid #C7C7C7;
border-right:1px solid #C7C7C7;
}
#menu ul li {
display:table-cell;
height:50px;
vertical-align:middle;
border-bottom:1px solid #C7C7C7;
margin-left:0;
}
How can I fix this?
A couple of changes should make this more uniform across browsers:
Add position:relative; to #menu ul li to make the child ul position relative to it
Add top:50px; to #menu ul li ul. This is the same as the height of the parent li
Remove margin-top:16px; from #menu ul li ul
#menu {
width: 950px;
margin: 0px auto;
list-style: none;
position: relative;
}
#menu ul {
list-style: none;
float: left;
}
#menu ul li {
display: table-cell;
height: 50px;
vertical-align: middle;
border-bottom: 1px solid #C7C7C7;
margin-left: 0;
position: relative; /*Add*/
}
#menu ul li a {
font-size: 18px;
color: #024fff;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
padding: 5px;
}
#menu ul li:hover {

margin-left: -0px;

Use border-box property of css,
Specify that <li> elements should have padding and border included in
the element's total width and height:
#menu ul li {
box-sizing:border-box;
margin-top:-1px;
}
You should use the A tag height within a parent LI in order to position your sub menu
First, add a display:block and height:100% to your A:
#menu ul li a {
font-size:18px;
color:#024fff;
text-decoration:none;
font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
padding:5px;
display:block;
height:100%;
}
Delete Li's height (Height will depend on the font-size & padding of your A tag
#menu ul li {
display:table-cell;
height:auto;
vertical-align:middle;
border-bottom:1px solid #C7C7C7;
margin-left:0;
}
And finally remove margin-top toi submenu :
#menu ul li ul {
display:none;
position:absolute;
z-index:999;
height:auto;
/*margin-top:16px;*/
margin-left:-0px;
background-color:#EFEFEF;
border-bottom:1px solid #C7C7C7;
border-left:1px solid #C7C7C7;
border-right:1px solid #C7C7C7;
}
Prevent submenu > a from being display:block:
#menu ul li ul li a {
font-size:16px;
padding:3px;
display:inline;
}

Wordpress menu center aligned and spaced evenly

I need some help regarding my menu arrangement. I'm using Wordpress on my site, with Vantage theme of which I even bought the premium theme.
My problem is the following: I'd like to make my menu items centered, spaced evenly, and I can't seem to achieve that without messing up my sub-menus.
Here's what I tried so far, without success:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/14103766/3990536
http://icode4you.net/wordpress-tricks-create-an-automatically-centered-and-evenly-spaced-navigation-menu/
https://stackoverflow.com/a/16274725/3990536
The codes actually work; my menu gets aligned niceley, but it also affects my sub-menus, I assume because they use the same class. I can't seem to figure out how to define new class for them, or separate the sub-menu from the actual main menu.
The thing I don't understand here, is the connection between my sub-menus and the main menu. If I edit .main-navigation li, my sub-menu is affected as well, even tough there should be a separate li for my main and my sub menu.
My site is the following: http://classwebdesign.hu/testing/
My menu's css looks like this:
/* =Menu

.main-navigation{
margin:0 -35px;

Thanks for your help in advance!
EDIT: With the answer below I was able to align them centered, but they are not evenly spaced which would be very important for me as well. Thanks!
Have a look at answers like this on on the site;
Align center menu within div
It's a simple way of achieving what you want without messing your sub-menus. Remove the float from the li and set their display property to inline-block. Then set text-align: center on the parent ul;
.main-navigation ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding-left: 0;
zoom: 1;
text-align: center;
}
.main-navigation ul li {
display: block;
position: relative;
/* float: left; */
display: inline-block;
}

Css Transition For My Home Made Nav

I have created a nav menu myself for my website, I'm no expert but I think the menu turned out great ... I would like for my the menus to open a little slower then instant, maybe have a .5s transition ... I have tried to implement myself but I just don't seem to be able to figure it out .... I have created a jsfiddle to show my nav bar ... I was hoping to someone could show me how to had a transition to all the drop down menus if its possible ... Thank You

The problem is that transitions animate a property when that property changes. For example, if I had a div that was 100px wide, then added a class to it that switched it to be 300px wide, you could set transition: width 3s and it would grow over that 3 second period.
In your case, all that's changing is display:block / display:hidden
To get it to transition, you'll need to change things so that, rather than hiding it with display:hidden, you're hiding it by shrinking it to be really tiny and growing, or changing the opacity, etc.

How can I fix my drop down?

if you open the following link
http://dev.scopedesign.com/client/nyfarmersmarket_02/
you find an navigation bar if you go on "ABOUT US" you will see a drop down..
then you se the problem in drop down
now i want to give you a little idea from how i make this..
I am working on joomla CMS, & i do some changes in navigation module to get my style now the follwing CSS i used for this.. the problem is it is displaying the .parent.active a
background in drop downs i dont want that for this purpose i made .parent.active a ul
but it doesnt work..
you can check this how it works by inspect element in the browser.
.parent.active a{
background-image:url(../images/selected.png);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
padding-top:13px;
padding-bottom:13px;
}
.parent.active a ul{
background-image:none !important;
background-repeat:none;
padding-top:0px !important;
padding-bottom:0px !important;!

One thing i specialy want to let you know guys that it is difficult to make div in it or cheange style name because it is a dynamic module.
Cleaned up and fixed your CSS, try this:

notes/advice/question:
Think about how you can make this work in two levels.
I had difficulties trying to get the second level to show in IE(Something you might wanna work on too).
Consider having a vertical sub-menu. It's easier for the user to navigate.
Question. How much content is going to go in each year? If not much, maybe you can group years content.
I re-worked the css for the navigation I think its a good start - if you wish.

Hope this made sense
