 * I’m working on a theme at the moment and have run into trouble with the WordPress
   3.0 menu – more specifically the submenu/dropdowns. The submenus are not functioning
   as they should – they are always appearing under their parents as opposed to 
   only appearing when hovering over their parent. Here is my code.
 * This from my themes functions.php file:
 *     ```
       // add/register WordPress 3.0 menu
   
       add_action( 'init', 'register_my_menu' );
   
       function register_my_menu() {
       	register_nav_menu( 'primary-menu', __( 'Primary Menu' ) );
       }
       ```
   
 * This is in my header.php file:
 *     ```
       <div id="top-menu">
   
       <?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary-menu' ) ); ?>
   
       </div>
       ```
   
 * And finally, here is my CSS:
 *     ```
       #top-menu {
       	font-family: 'Droid Sans', serif;
       	font-size: 14px;
       	font-weight: bold;
       	color: #413F40;
       	padding-top: 13px;
       }
   
       #top-menu a:link, #top-menu a:active, #top-menu a:visited {
       	line-height: 27px;
       	padding: 0 8px 1px 8px;
       	display: block;
       	color: #413F40;
       	text-decoration: none;
       }
   
       #top-menu a:hover {
       	line-height: 27px;
       	padding: 0 8px 1px 8px;
       	display: block;
       	color: #FFF;
       	text-decoration: none;
   
       }
   
       #top-menu li {
       	list-style: none;
       	float: left;
       	margin-right: 20px;
       	height: 27px;
       }
   
       #top-menu li:hover {
       	background: url(images/top-menu.png);
       	list-style: none;
       	float: left;
       	margin-right: 20px;
       	color: #FFF;
       	height: 27px;
       }
   
       #top-menu ul {
       	padding-left: 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * Here is a screenshot of my menu area:

 * As you can see, “Contact” has one submenu item that is simply appearing underneath
   it permanently. Have I missed something? Thanks!
