dropdown nav-menu problems

Hey, I was hoping that I could get some help a problem I'm having. I got some code for a dropdown navigation menu called superfish. The background on my dropdown navigation menu isn't lining up with the text. Because my site is already up, I can't leave the drop down menu up for you to see but it looks like this:

Untitled-2.jpg


I'm experienced with html and css and I've tried everything with those. I've looked at the javascript and jquery and I can't figure it out either. Here is the code:

(the html uses Liquid scripts so its a little more complicated)

HTML:
      <ul class="navigation sf-menu">
      {% for link in linklists.main-menu.links  %}

<!-- does this link in our iteration point to the current page? -->
{% assign current = false %}{% if template == 'index' and link.url == '/' %}
{% assign current = true %}{% elsif collection.url == link.url %}{% assign 
current = true %}{% elsif blog.url == link.url %}{% assign current = true %}
{% elsif page.url == link.url %}{% assign current = true %}{% elsif page_title
 == link.title %}{% assign current = true %}{% elsif template == 'list-
collections' and link.url == '/collections' %}{% assign current = true %}{% 
elsif page_title == 'Products' and link.url == '/collections/all' %}{% assign 
current = true %}{% elsif template == 'article' and link.url == article.url %}{%
 assign current = true %}{% endif %}
<!-- end of soul-searching about active class -->

  <li{% if forloop.first %} class="first"{% endif %}>
    <a{% if current %} class="active"{% endif %} href="{{ link.url }}">{{ link.title }}</a>
    {% capture child_list_handle %}{{ link.title | handle }}{% endcapture %}
    {% if linklists[child_list_handle] and linklists[child_list_handle].links.size > 0 %}
    <ul>
      {% for l in linklists[child_list_handle].links %}
      <li id="kamlist"><a href="{{ l.url }}">{{ l.title }}</a></li>
      {% endfor %}
    </ul>
    {% endif %}
  </li>
      {% endfor %}
        <li class="cart"><a href="/cart">Your cart ({{ cart.item_count }})</a></li>
      </ul>


This is the css

Code:
.sf-menu, .sf-menu * {
	margin:			0px;
	padding:		5px;
	list-style:		none;
        color:                  white;
        font-family:            lucida sans;
        left:                   85px;
        font-size:              15px;
        font-weight:            bold;
}

.sf-menu {
	line-height:	20px;
}
.sf-menu ul {
	position:		absolute;
	top:			-999em;
	width:			10em; /* left offset of submenus need to match (see below) */
}
.sf-menu ul li {
	width:			100%;
}
.sf-menu li:hover {
	visibility:		inherit; /* fixes IE7 'sticky bug' */
}
.sf-menu li {
	float:			right;
	position:		relative;
        top:                    50px;
        background-color:       black;
}
.sf-menu a {
	display:		block;
	position:		relative;
}
.sf-menu li:hover ul,
.sf-menu li.sfHover ul {
	left:			0px;
	top:			-25px; /* match top ul list item height */
	z-index:		99;
        
}
ul.sf-menu li:hover li ul,
ul.sf-menu li.sfHover li ul {
	top:			-999em;
}
ul.sf-menu li li:hover ul,
ul.sf-menu li li.sfHover ul {
	left:			10em; /* match ul width */
	top:			0;
}
ul.sf-menu li li:hover li ul,
ul.sf-menu li li.sfHover li ul {
	top:			-999em;
}
ul.sf-menu li li li:hover ul,
ul.sf-menu li li li.sfHover ul {
	left:			10em; /* match ul width */
	top:			0;
}

Does this menu do something special? I ask because we cant see it in action. If not, why all the js? Just use css.

Just an fyi, javascript will not cause the sub links to move to the right, that is definitely a css issue.

In an effort to help you find it, look for the clues. The text is still left aligned, so i would think it would be something to do with one of these properties:
  • margin(left)
  • padding(left)
  • left
Have you tried adjusting the 85px on ".sf-menu"?

Hey guys, I figured it out, it was actually pretty simple. I was doing the formatting in the .sf-menu, .sf-menu * {} but should have been doing it in the one below which was just .sf-menu {}.

it works now, check it out kntclothing.com
