 * I have a site I’m trying to finish at [turner.pdtest.com](http://turner.pdstest.com/)
   
   On the main menu there is a main menu link to a page that says, “Products.” Their
   is a sub-menu under that page with various product categories. The sub-menu has
   its own styling as far as background-color, etc. For some reason the parent link,“
   Products,” isn’t showing it’s hover color or images. I don’t know if this is 
   something in the css or what the problem is. Does anyone know what the solution
   to this is?
 * Thanks!

 * You can’t add the same styling to an _inline_ element as you would a _block_ 
   element.
 * Consider posting on a CSS-specific forum like [http://csscreator.com/forum](http://csscreator.com/forum)
   for this type of CSS-specific support.

 * Andrew,
 * An un-ordered list usually displays vertically. I need to display those menus
   inline. Could you be more specific? How can I display both menus horizontally,
   without making the list items inline elements? When I try to display as block
   level elements it doesn’t work. Are you sure this isn’t a wordpress problem rather
   than a css problem?
 * Thanks!

 * Yes, try Googling “How can I display menus horizontally”.

 * Two words: CSS float.

 * It’s a little old now but one of the early definitive articles on this topic 
   was [http://alistapart.com/article/taminglists](http://alistapart.com/article/taminglists)
   
   Still an excellent read.
