How do I get my menu to drop down? CSS & HTML

I have tried making a drop down menu. I have made simple ones, but cannot seem to get this one to work now, after adding more complex CSS. I am surely missing some line of code somewhere, but not sure where. Does anyone know how to get the SubItems1,2,3,and 4 to drop down from Item3 in my menu?

Menu code

<body>
    <div id = "HorizontalMenu">
    <ul class = "fancyNav">
    <li><a href = "Item1.php" class = "homeIcon">Item1</a></li>
    <li><a href = "Item2.php">Item2</a></li>
    <li><a href= "#">Item3</a>
    <ul>
    <li><a href = "Sub1.php"> SubItem1</a></li><br>
    <li><a href = "Sub2.php"> SubItem2</a></li><br>
    <li><a href = "Sub3.php"> SubItem3</a></li><br>
    <li><a href = "Sub4.php"> SubItem4</a></li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <li><a href = "Item4.php">Item4</a></li>
    </ul>
    </div>
</body>

CSS

First, remove the <br/> tags in your child ul list. Then remove the overflow: hidden; property of your .fancyNav CSS style. Then add this bit to your CSS:

.fancyNav li > ul {
    display: none;
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
}

.fancyNav li:hover > ul {
    display: block;
    border-radius: 0 !important;
}
.fancyNav li > ul li {
    float: none;
    border-radius: 0 !important;
}

Here is a Working Demo. It doesn't load your background images, but you get the idea.
