Drop down menu, Parent width issue

[kingafrojoe]

Hi Guys

i am having a slight issue with my CSS drop down menu.

because the child links are being pulled out of a data base they can very in size when i role over the parent link its width expands to the width of the longest child link.

how can i keep the parent link at 110px, but allow child links to be as long as required?

i tried a few things most sucessful was setting a max-width: on the parent and a min-width: on the child, this worked in chrome but nothing else.

(see "gallery" role-over)

the CSS:

	#menu ul ul {
		display:none;
		margin:0px;
		padding: 0px;
		background-color:#8c1818;
		color:#FFFFFF;
		float:none;
		z-index:100;
		/*min-width:250px;*/
		}
		#menu li:hover ul{
		display:block;
		}
		#menu li ul a:link { background-color:#66CCFF;}
		/*#menu li#link6 {max-width:110px;}*/

the HTML:

<div id="menu"> 
                    <ul> 
                    <li id='link1'> <a href='index.php'>Home</a></li> 
                        <li id='link2'> <a href='shop.php'>Shop</a> </li> 
                            <li id='link3'> <a href='bikes4sale.php'>Bikes for Sale</a></li> 
                                <li id='link4'> <a href='workshop.php'>Workshop</a> </li> 
                                    <li id='link5'> <a href='contact.php'>Contact</a></li> 
                                        <li id='link6'> <a href='gallery.php'>Gallery</a> 
                                            <ul> 	
										<li><a href='photos.php?album=2'>Second Album</a></li> 	
									<li><a href='photos.php?album=1'>First Album</a></li> 
</ul> 
                                        </li> 
              <li id="link7"> <a href="links.php">Links</a> </li> 
                    </ul>	
                    </div>

Thanks in advance

I fixed the problem

with only 2 lines of CSS

#menu li:hover ul{
		display:block;
				position:absolute;/* added */
		}

.Contaner #menu li a {
		white-space: nowrap; /* Added */
	}

works fine now
