         padding: 0px;
         background-color: grey;
      }

      ul {
         background-color: orange;
         text-align: center;
         margin: 0px;
         padding: 0px;

         line-height: 20px;
         height: 40px;
         padding: 5px;
         display: inline-block;
      }

      a {
         text-decoration: none;
         color: blue;
      }

</head>
<body>

         padding: 0;
         list-style: none;
         background: #f2f2f2;
      }

      ul li {
         display: inline-block;
         position: relative;
         line-height: 21px;
         text-align: left;
         border: 1px solid #5F9EA0;
      }

      ul li a {
         background: #FFF8DC;
         display: block;
         padding: 8px 25px;
         color: #5F9EA0;
         text-decoration: none;
      }

      ul li a:hover {
         color: #FFF8DC;
         background: #5F9EA0;
      }

      ul li ul.dropdown {
         min-width: 125px;
         background: #f2f2f2;
         display: none;
         position: absolute;
         z-index: 999;
         left: 0;
      }

      ul li:hover ul.dropdown {
         display: block;
      }

      ul li ul.dropdown li {
         display: block;
      }
   </style>
</head>
<body>
   <ul>
      <li>
         <a href="Index.html">Home</a>
      </li>
      <li>
