HTML Menu with Submenu using CSS

Dear all

This is my another blog for how we can create a menu with submenu using HTML and CSS. This is a very important topic, because by this method you can show your own creativity. This is an extension of my previous block in which I had taught creation of simple HTML menu using CSS styling. If you want to go through this blog then please click here. In this blog I had already discussed that we can create menu using either only HTML file having <STYLE> tag in it or we can create an external CSS file also. So the same procedure we can follow in this program code also.
In this blog, I am creating only one HTML file having <STYLE> tag ( embedded style sheet) in the same file, if you want to create an external STYLESHEET, just copy the <STYLE> tag in separate file and save it with the extension .css and link it with the HTML file.
So start creating a HTML file as, I had already discussed about this, menu in a website is created using unordered list tag as in the following program:-

First of all we have to decide the levels of our menu to be design and then we will nest the unordered list to that level only.

<h1> Navigation Menu </h1>
<ul id="navmenu">
<li><a href="#">Hyperlink Menu 1</a> </li>
<li><a href="#">Hyperlink Menu 2</a><span class="darrow">&#9660;</span>
            <ul class="sub1">
            <li><a href="#">Hyperlink 2.1</a> </li>
            <li><a href="#">Hyperlink 2.2</a>  </li>
            <li><a href="#">Hyperlink 2.3</a> </li>
            <li><a href="#">Hyperlink 2.4</a> </li>
            <li><a href="#">Hyperlink 2.5</a> </li>
            </ul>
 </li>
<li><a href="#">Hyperlink Menu 3</a> </li>
<li><a href="#">Hyperlink Menu 4</a> <span class="darrow">&#9660;</span>
            <ul class="sub1">
            <li><a href="#">Hyperlink 4.1</a> </li>
            <li><a href="#">Hyperlink 4.2</a>  </li>
            <li><a href="#">Hyperlink 4.3</a> <span class="rarrow">&#9654;</span>
                        <ul class="sub2">
                        <li><a href="#">Hyperlink 4.3.1</a> </li>
                        <li><a href="#">Hyperlink 4.3.2</a>  </li>
                        <li><a href="#">Hyperlink 4.3.3</a> </li>
                        <li><a href="#">Hyperlink 4.3.4</a> </li>
                        <li><a href="#">Hyperlink 4.3.5</a> </li>
                        </ul>   
            </li>
            <li><a href="#">Hyperlink 4.4</a> </li>
            <li><a href="#">Hyperlink 4.5</a> </li>
            </ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Hyperlink Menu 5</a> </li>
</ul>
<div id="bg"> </div>

After execution of the above .HTML code in the browser, we will got the following figure which is actually my target to achieve for the creation of a menu. This is the first step of the menu designing using HTML and CSS. This is a HTML design now we will add styles using CSS in it so that it will convert in an attractive DROPDOWM menu. So now follow the further steps for adding CSS styles in the same program.
