Overflow:hidden doesn't appear to work

I am creating a responsive menu and use only html and css for this.

But when I try to add content to the site it starts the div in the menu. I already tried to use overflow:hidden on the div around the entire menu but for some reason this doesn't work.

I created another menu and used overflow:hidden on the div around the menu and that worked but sadly can't used it because it has no dropdown menu.

I hope I provided you with enough information to help me other wise just asked! Thanks.

What you want has nothing to do with overflow.

Because on devices wider than 1201px your menu has position:absolute, you are removing it from normal flow of the document. If you don't want it to be rendered overlapping the page content, you need to set a top-padding on your content and place the menu in the provided space:

@media (min-width: 1201px){
  body {
    padding-top: 51px;
  }
  #menu {
    top: 0;
  }
}


@font-face

{
  font-family: 'Gautami';
  src: url('gautami.ttf');
}
body {
  padding: 0px;
  margin: 0px;
}
#menu {
  width: 100%;
}
/*Strip the ul of padding and list styling*/

ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  position: absolute;
}
/*Create a horizontal list with spacing*/

li {
  display: inline-block;
  float: left;
}
/*Style for menu links*/

li a {
  display: block;
  min-width: 140px;
  height: 50px;
  text-align: center;
  line-height: 50px;
  font-family: 'Gautami', Arial;
  color: #2072ba;
  text-decoration: none;
}
/*Hover state for top level links*/

.MenuLink:hover {
  background: #e5e6e8;
}
/*Style for dropdown links*/

li:hover ul a {
  background: #2072ba;
  color: white;
  height: 40px;
  line-height: 40px;
  border-bottom: 1px solid white;
}
/*Hover state for dropdown links*/

li:hover ul a:hover {
  background: #e5e6e8;

As a side-note, your CSS is way too general. For starters, you don't want all unordered lists in your website to have position:absolute
