You're doing it wrong. Make your HTML like this

<nav id="menu">
<ul>
 <li><a href="#">Home</a></li> 
 <li><a href="#" id="showHide" class="act">Forms</a></li>  
 <li id="smenu">
     <ul>  
        <li><a href="#" >Car Form</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Job Fomr </a></li>
        <li><a href="#" target="_blank">Test Form </a></li> 
        <li><a href="#">Forms </a></li>  
     </ul>
 </li>
<li><a href="#">Contact Us</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>

<li><a href="#" id="showHide" class="act">Forms</a>

You need to close out your '< li>' tag. Always create the closing tag at the same time as your opening tag with HTML or XML.
