}

I am trying to position the nav on the right side in the middle of the header area. like cyberchimps



enter image description here



Also when I hover over sub menu of BGA I would like to keep hover state on for BGA. I'm not sure how to accomplish this.



I have seen "*" in CSS on a few examples, is that a good practice to use today?



I am doubtful that my approach is sound any suggestions are welcomed.

          I don't think it is possible with CSS, you can simply do it by using jQuery mouseenter event:




          $('#bga-list').mouseenter(() => {
          $('#bga-list > ul').show();
          })

          @charset "utf-8";
          /* CSS Document */

          margin: 0;

          background-color: #CCC;
          }

          @font-face{

                However, I don't think it's a good idea to show a dropdown list on mouseenter and never hide it. Hope this helps.

                I don't think it is possible with CSS, you can simply do it by using jQuery mouseenter event:




                $('#bga-list').mouseenter(() => {
                $('#bga-list > ul').show();
                })

                @charset "utf-8";
                /* CSS Document */
                body{
                margin: 0;
                padding: 0;
                background-color: #CCC;
                }

                @font-face{
                src: url(assets/fonts/oswald-v16-latin-regular.ttf);
                font-family: oswald;
                }

                /* ~~ The header is given a width of 100%.
