I have a navigation bar with 5 items. Hover only works when mouse moves over the whole item, but doesn't work when on the items' text. It happened after I changed the size of navigation bar. Here is my CSS code.

ul {

  box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);

  list-style-type: none;

  margin: 0;

  padding: 0;

  height: 40px;

  overflow: hidden;

  background-color: #212121;

}



li {

  float: left;

  height: 40px;

}



li a,

.dropbtn {

  display: inline-block;

  color: white;

  text-align: center;

  padding: 12px 16px;

  text-decoration: none;

}



li a:hover,

.dropdown:hover .dropbtn {

  background-color: red;

}



.dropdown-content a:hover {

  background-color: #00ccff;

  box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);

}



.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {

  display: block;

  box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);

}

<div id="oes_navigationbar">

  <ul>

    <li><a href="../index.html">Home</a></li>

    <li><a class="selected" href="../Views/loginpage.jsp">Login</a></li>

    <li><a href="../Views/about.jsp">About</a></li>

    <li class="dropdown"><a href="#" class="dropbtn">Sign Up</a>

      <div class="dropdown-content"><a href="../Student/registrationpage.jsp">As Student</a><a href="../faculty/facultyregistration.jsp">As Faculty</a></div>

    </li>

    <li><a href="../Views/contactpage.jsp" target="_blank">Contact</a></li>

    <li><a href="../Views/help.jsp" target="_blank">Help</a></li>

  </ul>

  <div class="cleaner"></div>

Can you describe the problem more? If I remove the overflow of ul, the dropdown works ok. Also add ul:after {clear: both; content: ''; display: block;} and remove height of li and ul, move it to the a.
