title: Problems Creating a Pure CSS Dropdown Submenu in Submenu
body: <p>Hello I was wondering whether this is possible. I have a horizontal menu created using CSS with submenus and it works just fine. However, I want to have submenus appear to the right of the submenus already appearing.</p>
  
  <p>The menu is as such: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/dvpKx/39/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/dvpKx/39/</a></p>
  
  <p>And the code is:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>/*First reset ul styles*/
      .nav,
      .nav ul,
      .nav li,
      .nav a {
          margin: 0;
          padding: 0;
          border: none;
          outline: none;
      }
  
  /*Now add fixed width &amp; height to the menu along with rounded corners and gradients*/
      .nav {
      height: 50px;
      width: inherit;
      margin: 10px;
  
  
      background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgb(198,56,32) 0%, rgb(127,48,35) 100%);

      }
  
  
  /*Float links left to align links horizontally &amp; position relative to align submenus properly*/
  
      .nav li {
      position: relative;
      list-style: none;

For the hover state we will only change the text color.
