i need to adjust accordion vertical menu css. I do not understand how to adjust the sub menu li
<div id="menuleft">
<div class="top">header</div>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Main 1</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Sub 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub 1</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Main 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Main 3</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Main 4</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
This is the css:
#menuleft{
position: absolute;
bottom:0px; left:100px;
height: 100%;
width: 160px;
background-color: #BAB3D6;
}
#menuleft .top{
float:right;
width: 160px;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-size:110%;
margin:20px 0px 20px 0px;
height: 30px;
}
#menuleft ul{
position:absolute;
width: 160px;
top:130px;
left:0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#menuleft li{
width: 130px;
height: 30px;
left:0;
font-size: 95%;
line-height: 30px;
list-style: none;
cursor:pointer;
}
#menuleft li a {
text-decoration:none;
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding-left:30px;
vertical-align:middle;
}
#menuleft ul ul li a {
text-decoration:none;
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding-left:30px;
vertical-align:middle;
background-color: #d8d4e8;
}
#menuleft li a:hover{
background-color:#652D91;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-weight:bold;
}
#menuleft li a:active {
background-color:#ad45c5;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
After this I use jquery for expand and collapse submenus Thanks in advance for the help
this is the JSfiddle
UPDATE
With misterManSam help now it works but I have still a little problem, when I expand the sub menu their back ground is not uniform as you can see, it makes a little click, this is Jfiddle.
Remove position: absolute
from #menuleft ul
and position with a top margin.
Remove the height
on #menuleft li
Give the top level ul
a class (here .nav
) and style that instead of #menuleft ul
so that second level ul
s are not styled.
Give the .nav
the same background as #menuleft
. This will ensure that there is a background behind the links even at very small heights.
Also, ensure that all the default margin and padding is removed from the ul
and the list items.
ul,li { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
#menuleft {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
left: 100px;
height: 100%;

#menuleft .top {
float: right;
width: 160px;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 110%;
margin: 20px 0px 20px 0px;
