When I was looking at this before, the was the main reason I wanted to avoid the list menu system, but if it’s possible to fix this issue I think I’ll probably go with the list based menu. I’m sure this is something simple to fix, but I’m not sure how. If I try to add an tag to the button itself it completely screws up the formatting. I need the base link across the top to work as an actual link as well, not just a vehicle / button for the drop down menu section.

Dropdown menus help users easily navigate an app or website by narrowing down their choices. It is used to showcase content buttons (links) for each parent menu item.
A drop-down menu is a sub-menu of a website or app’s main menu. The menu goes completely across the very top of the page. A CSS dropdown menu is an effective solution for enhancing the UI and UX of an app or website. * Add a color to the active/current link */ * Style the links inside the navigation bar */ Then we’ll style these link lists using CSS in the form of a horizontal drop.

I’ve tried some examples I’ve found but none of them are working.
