The dropdown menu's s'posed to be nested within the <li> from which it's
to drop down from - it can't be a completely separate ul.

Hello All -
I've done this successfully in one previous project, but can't for the
life
of me understand what I'm doing wrong now.
I've got a UL nav bar with a number of li's.
I've set one of the li's as css trigger (via a class name) in order to
show
a drop-down menu (a UL) that has a default value of display:none.
Unfortunately, nothing I try will initiate the declaration containing the
display:block.
My CSS and test.html page validates so I don't know where I'm going
wrong.
Could someone please show me the error of my ways?
To see this live, please go here: http://www.x7m.us/_problems/test.htm
and
hover over the "Industry" li . of course, you won't see anything happen
as
this is the crux of my problem.
HTML and CSS copied below for convenience.
Appreciate any and all guidance on how to fix this
Cole
