<ul> inside <li> changes <li> width

I have a menu which is a <ul>. Inside one of the <li>s I have another <ul> to add a depth level, a sub-menu. However, when hovering the <li> to make the sub-menu appear, it's width changes to match the <ul>s. Also, the sub-menu will pull the content area down, and that's not what I want.

I want the <li> to maintain it's width when it's hovered, and the sub-menu to appear on top of the content area.

Here's the jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Cthulhu/RWjcA/ (If you hover Products, you will see it happen.)

Here's a slightly cleaned up version, and without the need for Javascript: http://jsfiddle.net/dZhQN/2/

HTML

<ul id="nav">
    <li><a>Home</a></li>
    <li><a>Whatever</a></li>
    <li>
        <a>Products</a>
        <ul>
            <li><a>What When How</a></li>
            <li><a>Who Why</a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li><a>Contacts</a></li>
</ul>

<div id="content"></div>
​

CSS

#nav, #nav ul {
    list-style: none;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    text-align: center;
}

#nav li {
    display: inline-block;
    position: relative;
}

#nav li a {
    display: block;
    cursor: pointer;
    font-size: 12px;
    padding: 24px 20px 15px;
}
#nav > li > a:hover {
    color: #FFF;
    background: #4A6125;
}

#nav ul {
    background: #000;
    display: none;
    position: absolute;
    top: 100%;
    left: 50%;
    z-index: 999;
    width: 150px;
    margin-left: -75px;
}
#nav ul li a {
    color: #FFF;
    padding: 10px;
}
#nav ul li a:hover {
    text-decoration: underline;
}
#nav li:hover ul {
    display: block;            
}


#content {
    background: gold;
    height: 200px;
}

You can simply give a fixed height to that Div

#main_menu .menu {
list-style: none outside none;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
height:60px;
}

Hope this will help...
