title: Why are my links in html ul li not working?
body: <p>I'm currently trying to build my first website (homework). For my dropdown menu, I used Dev Ed's tutorial for a dropdown menu, and it is working except that I can't click on the links in the dropdown bits. 
  (the mouse coursor still changes into that hand-symbol though) </p>
  
  <p>How can I fix this?</p>
