hello,
I am trying to develop a dropdown menu , and doing it using lists but the CSS applied to the lists i have not been able to understand so could anyone help me out with it please.

you need to provide your sample code and more details as to what you need assistance with. there are limitations with regards to applying styles to select elements.

Here is the Code.
I din't quiet understand the css and the class list's A,B,C nested lists why do they go under the Image slider?? 

<!Doctype>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <title>Welcome</title>
  <link href="copyy.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
  <style type="text/css">
   /*-----------------------------------This css is for the MenuBar*-------------*/
   body {
    padding:0; 
    margin:0;
    font-family: Arial;
    font-size: 17px;
    width:700px;

Ok so all of that code wasnt really necessary...

I thought you meant dropdown as in a select element. Now i understand that you were asking about a navigation menu.

In any case, there are several ways to handle this. A quick look at your CSS and I beleive one easy way is to apply a higher (could be any number, but higher than the z-index of the container) z-index property to the <ul> element for the second level of your menu. For example,

#nav_wrapper ul li ul { z-index: 9999 }

That results in the following...
