I'm turning a 2 level nav into a 3 level and running into a few difficulties.
The 3rd level displays where and as predicted but when the 'grandparent' is hovered over, not the parent of the items I want displayed.
I've been fooling around with the css for a while and I cannot get it to respond how I'd like.
Any help is appreciated.
There is a fiddle as my explanation might be somewhat lacking.
