I'm new to CSS. Any advice is appreciated. I want to turn the code below, which creates a horizontal menu, into a vertical menu. Even just a suggestion of where to start would be nice. Thanks.

I have an example of a vertical suckerfish menu, but I am having a tough time comparing the two:

http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/example/vertical.html



	body {
		font-family: arial, helvetica, serif;
	}
	
	#nav, #nav ul { /* all lists */
		padding: 0;
		margin: 0;
		list-style: none;
		float : left;
		width : 11em;
	}
	
	#nav li { /* all list items */
		position : relative;
		float : left;
		line-height : 1.25em;
		margin-bottom : -1px;
		width: 11em;
	}
	
	#nav li ul { /* second-level lists */
		position : absolute;
		left: -999em;
		margin-left : 11.05em;
		margin-top : -1.35em;
	}
	
	#nav li ul ul { /* third-and-above-level lists */
		left: -999em;
	}
	
	#nav li a {
		width: 11em;
		w\idth : 10em;
		display : block;
		color : black;
		font-weight : bold;
		text-decoration : none;
		background-color : white;
		border : 1px solid black;
		padding : 0 0.5em;
	}
	
	#nav li a:hover {

		background-color : black;
	}
	
	#nav li:hover ul ul, #nav li:hover ul ul ul, #nav li.sfhover ul ul, #nav li.sfhover ul ul ul {

Its way to difficult for a beginner to modify someone else's code. I recommend you build from scratch. In the end, that's how I solved my question above.
