One of the most annoying things on touch devices is the way that CSS hover activated menus stay open until another link is clicked. Well, this example fixes that; UPDATED! Responsive CSS3 Multi-Level, Drop-Down Menu (Earlier releases of the Drop-Down menu have been replaced with better support for tap-activated sub-menus on touchscreen - reverted to using the arrow labels and checkbox hack [like the Fly-Out version does] - they're there for mobile view so why not use ...

I was emailed the other day by somebody asking if my earlier CSS-Only Multi-Level, Off-Canvass Mobile Menu could be visible on desktop too.
