Horizontal CSS nav displays as vertical in IE7 - css

http://www.sage-wellness.com/nav.html
I am having a problem with this in IE7- all of the top-level navigation is stacked vertically instead of horizontally.
Here is the CSS
#navigation { width:800px; height:27px; background-image:url(images/navbg.gif); background- repeat:no-repeat; margin-top:30px; }
#navigation ul { margin:0px; padding:0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;line-height: 27px; display:inline; }
#navigation ul li { display:inline; float:left; list-style:none; height:27px; line-height:27px; position:relative; }
#navigation li a { color:#a1c301; text-decoration:none; padding-right:10px; padding-left:10px; }
#navigation li a:hover, #navigation li:hover a { color:#fff; background-color: #91b000; display:inline-block; }
#navigation li ul { margin:0px; padding:0px; display:none; position:absolute; left:0px; top:27px; background-color:#5b5b52;}
#navigation li:hover ul { display:block; width:150px;}
#navigation li li a { color:#a1c301; text-decoration:none; }
#navigation li li a:hover, #navigation li li:hover a { color:#fff; background-color: #91b000; width:130px; display:inline-block;}
#navigation li.top { }
#navigation li.top a:hover { }
#navigation ul.submenu { background-color:#5b5b52; }
#navigation li.submenu { width:150px; border: 1px dotted #999; background-color:#5b5b52; }
#navigation .submenu li a { background:#5b5b52; }
and here is the HTML
<div id="navigation">
<ul class="top">
<li class="top"> </li>
<li class="top">Home</li>
<li class="top">Acupuncture</li>
<li class="top">Chinese Medicine
<ul class="submenu">
<li class="submenu">Herbal Medicine</li>
<li class="submenu">Other Modalities</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="top">Conditions Treated</li>
<li class="top">About
<ul class="submenu">
<li class="submenu">Deb Valentin Bio</li>
<li class="submenu">FAQs</li>
<li class="submenu">Community Resources</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="top">Testimonials</li>
<li class="top">Blog</li>
<li class="top">Schedule an Appointment</li>
</ul>
</div>

ie7 doesn't understand :hover on elements other than anchors, as well as has no clue what display:inline-block means. check out suckerfish dropdowns for a solution http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/

Right-align last submenu of a css drop-down menu

Would like the last submenu of this css drop-down menu to be right-aligned: https://jsfiddle.net/mishka00/p6cyy5p7/. It is currently right-aligned (incorrectly) just to show the desired end result. Tried various combinations of right:0 and left:auto, but couldn't figure it out.
See https://jsfiddle.net/sjmcpherso/b1pyqLpc/
#nav ul li:last-child ul {
right:0px;left:auto;
text-align:right;
background:white;
}
Plus add position:relative to the parent
add position: relative for #nav ul li
add right: 0; for #nav ul li:last-child ul
#nav ul {
padding:0;
margin:0;
list-style:none;
}
#nav ul li {
float:left;
border:1px solid #fff;
margin:0 30px;
position: relative;
}
#nav ul li a {
display:block;
padding:10px 6px;
position:relative;
}
#nav ul li:hover {
border-left:1px solid #E9E9E9;

If anyone could help me figure out what class I need to add or change I would be really grateful for your help.
Thanks
This happens due to the nav li:hover ul{display:block;} rule. it will enable all levels of submenus once a top level item is hovered..
Change it to affect only immediate children (and not descendants)
nav li:hover > ul{
display:block;
}
(also you have that rule twice in your code, so remove one of the two instances)

Trying to add a CSS Sub Sub Menu

I want you to know before I get started that I have been looking at all of the sub sub menu questions and I didn't see anything that could help the code I already have laid out. I appreciate any help at all that anybody can give me.
So, I am trying to add a sub sub menu and I thought I had figured it out, but I don't think I quite understand how to get the child combinators to work. If you could take a look at that part of the code specifically, you would be on my 'saint list.'
ETA: Oh yeah, and the problem is that the sub sub menu does not go out to the right and show up next to the parent that it is supposed to be subbing from, which is what I want it to do. I hope that makes sense.
Here is the fiddle preview - http://jsfiddle.net/BVtSC/18/

Again, any help at all would do wonders. Thank you for your consideration. :)
three things can help you.first using '>' in css selectors. second using this
ul ul{
display:none;
}
ul > li:hover > ul {
display:block;
}
that cause a ul block being displayed when you hover on its '< li >' parent.
and third one is using css positions to adjust submenus position.like this
#header > ul{
position:relative;
}
li{
position:relative;
}
ul ul{
position:absolute;
left:120px;
top:0;
}
or you can use this which is a simple example of nested menu.(unlimited). jsfiddle
you should just adjust its size and color.
HTML
<ul class="menu">
<li>item1</li>
<li>item2
<ul>
<li>sub item1</li>
<li>sub item2</li>
<li>sub item3

<li>sub sub item 1</li>
<li>sub sub item 2
<ul>
<li>sub sub sub item1</li>
<li>sub sub sub item2</li>
<li>sub sub sub item3
<ul>
<li>yes why not?</li>
<li>you can still continue</li>

CSS Trouble on Dropdowns

uMy child pages are showing up in a horizontal line under the parent page link in the navigation. I can't figure out where the css is wrong. You can see what I'm talking about here (the links under Sample Page are the ones in question): http://sitetest3.talktothedogs.com.
HTML for Navigation (which is auto-generated by WP)
<div id="nav">
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li class="current_page_item">Home</li>
<li class="page_item page-item-2">Sample Page
<ul class='children'>
<li class="page_item page-item-4">Testing page 2</li>
<li class="page_item page-item-6">Testing page 1</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
My CSS Code
.menu, .menu ul { margin:0; padding:0; list-style:none; height:29px; text-align:center; }
.menu a { color:#fff; display:block; padding-left:15px; padding-right:15px; padding-bottom:0px; }
.menu a:hover { color:#000; display:block; text-decoration:none; }
.menu li { float:left; margin:0; padding: 0px; }

.menu li li a:hover, .menu-header li li a:active { background:#000; width:150px; float: none; margin: 0; padding: 4px 10px 5px 10px; color:#fff; }
.menu li ul { position:absolute; width:10em; left:-999em; padding-top:13px; z-index:1; }
.menu li:hover ul { left:auto; display:block; }
.menu li:hover ul, #menu li.sfhover ul { left: auto; }
.menu li.current_page_item a { }
.menu li.current_page_item a:hover{ }
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Change your CSS as follows:
.menu li a{ margin-bottom:13px;}
.menu li li { float:none; margin: 0; padding:0; width:130px; }
Here is how this would look
Your first line in the CSS:
.menu, .menu ul { ... }
is setting the height of both the <div class="menu"> AND the <ul> within that .menu to the same height. The entire menu is constrained to a container that's 29px high.

Creating a CSS based horizontal dropdown menu with a horizontal sub nav

I am trying to create a css horizontal drop down menu that will show the children in a horizontal subnav. What I have so far is: (this is incomplete but I am stuck)
<ul class="menu">
<li class="top">Home</li>

</li>
<li class="top">

</ul>
</li>
</ul>
and the css:

I really need some help I can not get this to work at all and need to running ASAP!
Rendered HTML:
<ul class="menu">

Instead of fixing this mess, here's a simple example you can use and apply:
HTML
<div class='menu'>
<a href=''>One</a><a href=''>Two</a><a href=''>Three</a>
</div>
<div class='menu'>
<a href=''>One</a><a href=''>Two</a>
</div>
<div class='menu'>
<a href=''>One</a><a href=''>Two</a><a href=''>Three</a><a href=''>Four</a>
</div>
CSS
.menu { float:left; line-height:20px; border:1px solid black; height:20px;
overflow:hidden; margin-right:10px; }
.menu a { display:block }
.menu:hover { height:auto; }
Doesn't look good, but it works. You can style it to look beautiful later. (Don't forget the doctype to enable :hover.)
// Edit
Sorry just noticed the 'horizontal' part. This is a vertical dropper. Will leave it up though just in case it helps you.
