Menu
I'd like for the menu sub menu to show 10 pixels underneath the menu, i can achieve that using margin-top on the ul, but then i cant move my mouse down to the sub menu because there is a gap. There are posts very similar to this but i could't extract an answer from them. Like this one
Space between menu and drop down menu
deepMenu {
background: black !important;
margin-left: 100px !important;
position: absolute !important;
}
.lmao li ul {
display: none;
position: absolute;
border-top: 5px solid black;
margin-top: 18px;
}
.lmao li ul li {
display: none;
border-top: 0.1px solid #F2F2F2;
padding: 10px 40px 10px 10px;
margin: 0;
position: relative;
z-index: 9999999;
background: white;
font-size: 8pt;
line-height: 24px;
text-align: left;
}
.lmao li:hover > ul,
.lmao li:hover > ul li {
display: block;
}<ul class="lmao">
<li class="point1"><a href="index.html">home</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Sub Menu 1</a></li>

</ul>UPDATE:
Now that you gave the reference, the hover menu is not actually distant from the li itself, but it is positioned right below it. On the example site the li has a height bigger than the text within and has position: relative; on it.
The dropdown is absolute positioned right below this bigger <li> element with a top: 100%; that way it is distant from the text that triggers the dropdown.
Check the updated Snippet bellow with an updated solution.
padding instead of margins.
So you could change your .lmao li ul, although I wouldn't advise adding style to tags as a CSS best practice, I usually adopt a CSS naming convention such as BEM, SMACSS, among others.
/* Reset the ul style */
