How to add third level css menu to my existing css/html code

I have this html and css menu. I'm trying to add a third level to the menu where 'Add Scores' has 2 menu items that shoot out to the right. What changes need to be made to the css in order for this to work.

The result would be:
'Scores'
'Add Scores' -> Level 3-A-1
Level 3-A-2

<div id="menu">
    <ul>
        <li>SCORES
            <ul>
                <li>ADD SCORES
                    <ul>
                        <li>Level 3-A-1</li>
                        <li>Level 3-A-2</li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
                <li>EDIT SCORES</li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li>PLAYERS
            <ul>
                <li>ADD PLAYER</li>
                <li>EDIT PLAYERS</li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li>COURSES
            <ul>
                <li>ADD COURSE</li>
                <li>EDIT COURSES</li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li>ADMIN</li>
    </ul>
</div>

Thanks for the response. Do you know what changes need to be made to my css to make it work?

Tej Pratap Shukla ~Dexter

Hi there
You need to fir call ul with id="menu" instead of calling the id at div .I think adding
#menu li:hover > ul{
display: block;
visibility:visible;
}
Would make the significant changes.
If you found this helpful then please vote

Thanks

This link will give you an idea of what the menu looks like. http://jsfiddle.net/qdoan/FeYdA/

When you hover over the 'Scores' menu and show the 'Add Scores' menu item it should then pop out to the right and show the other 2 menu options. How can I change my existing css to make this happen?

I have made some changes to the css and I'm getting closer:

Great !
Good job there.Well i verified your css code and it worked. I think you have achieved what you wanted.You just need to do the following changes and here's an explanation for them.
You mentioned id's which are not in use as the main coding for slider level css is working without "menu " id.So i would suggest you to check out the code as attached below.If you need to segregate multiple menu's then mention the following code with the id or if you insist then i'll update it.

If you need further help, revert back and don't forget to mark this question answered if your query is resolved.

Thanks

It's closer to the behavior that is expected. When I hover over 'Edit' scores the 'Add Scores' sub menus to the right should disappear.
