 * Hello.
    I have too long dropdown menu so I’ve added scroll function to it with
   the help of CSS.
 *     ```
       .nav li ul { width: 290px; }
   
       #scrollmenu li li a { width: 250px; }
   
       .scrollmenu ul {
             height: 400px;
       	    overflow-x: visible;
             overflow-y: scroll;
       }
       ```
   
 * Now I have submenu that does not open it’s subcategories. How can I fix this?

 * Eeesh.
    While your intent it good, imo that’s some nasty UX.
 * how about converting to a mega menu?
