Third-Level Menu Items Are Always Showing

Question

I am making a horizontal menu that is three levels deep. It works as intended for the first and second levels. However, when you hover over any of the first or second level menus, the third menu items are displayed.

Even more so, all third level menu items that are within the first level menu are displayed (all of the second level submenus). I have no idea how to correct this (I do, but I can't figure out the combination of ul li...etc).

*I realize my CSS and html is sloppy (black ftw) - that is going to get fixed later. My main concern now is to get it working correctly.

#menu ul { 
    margin: 0; 
    padding: 0; 
    position:relative;
    list-style: none;
    width: 150px; /* Width of Menu Items */ 
    border-bottom-style:solid;
    border-width:2.3px;
    border-color:black;
    padding-left:0px;
    /*background:url(./images/fillers/vvv.png);*/
} 

#menu ul li { 
    /* position: relative; */
} 

#menu li ul { 
    position: absolute; 
    left: 149px; /*Set 1px less than menu width */ 
    top: 0; 
    display: block; 
} 

#menu li:hover ul {
    display: block; 
} 

#menu li:hover ul { 
    visibility:visible; 
} 


#menu ul ul {
    visibility:hidden; 
}

Answer 1

I had the same issue - found the solution here and it worked for me

CSS Drop Down Navigation, 3rd level issue

You need to add an ">" between li:hover and ul

ie: li:hover > ul

Answer 2

I figured this solution out:

#menu li:hover ul ul, #menu li:hover ul ul ul, #menu li:hover ul ul ul ul{
display:none;
}

#menu li:hover ul, #menu li li:hover ul, #menu li li li:hover ul, #menu li li li li:hover     ul{
display:block;
}
