ok, i know how to create a drop down menu using css, the only problem is that all of the code i have used doesnt apply to this. Here is what i have: I have a nav menu in tables (i know why am i using tables) i have one sub section that needs to appear to the right of a link.

#wrapper { text-align:left; margin:0px; width:195px; border:1px solid #000000; padding:0px; background-color:#FFFFCC; }

#wrapper a {
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:11px;
text-align:left;
color: #333333;
text-decoration:none;
}

#wrapper a:hover {
color: #003366;
text-decoration:underline;
}

#wrapper li {
position:relative;
}

#wrapper ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: relative;
top: 0;
left: 100%;
width: 100%;
display:block;
}

#wrapper ul li {
width:100%;
border-left:1px solid #000000;
border-bottom:1px solid #000000;
border-right:1px solid #000000;
background-color:#FFFFCC;
color:#000000;
}

#wrapper a ul li:hover ul li {
display:none;
}

#wrapper is the main table
so why wont this work, im not a pro so i am sure there are mistakes. If you can help me please do so, if you have any questions please ask.

Thank you.

Get rid of the tables

Get rid of the tables entirely, it's completely unnecessary.

Yes, and ditching tables is

Yes, and ditching tables is a better way to do it.

If you post all your HTML and CSS (in between code tags please) we can have a more in-depth look at it.
