Dropdown Menu not showing? White space showing on right side when set to overflow:visible

441 views Asked by At

I'm putting up a site on Tumblr for my online store. Thing is, I can't get the dropdown menu to show up when I put "overflow:hidden" on the #topmenu part. When I set it to "overflow:visible", I get a huge chunk of white space to the right of the webpage. The white space isn't obvious when I'm using my laptop but it is when I use my phone.

I've tried changing the value of the z-index but it still won't work. I want to be able to have "overflow:visible" while not getting the white space at the right side of the page.

Please help me figure out what's wrong with the code and find a solution. I think there's something wrong with the width of the menu. But then when I change the width, all the links are pushed to the left side of the page.

Thank you in advance!

            </ul>
        </div>


EDIT:

I tried using @gopalraju's code and it eliminated the white space while showing the dropdown menu. (Thank you gopalraju!)

How do I push the whole menu to the center of the page? enter image description here

And how do I put the dropdown menu right under the word "Customers"? enter image description here
