Solution

  • Since you're saying you want the menu to show when you hover the area it uses to be, you should try this.

     .nav_accordion {
    opacity: 0;
 }

 .nav_accordion:hover {
   opacity: 1;
 }

    Be sure to remove your display: hidden; because hover won't apply on hidden elements.

    Example: https://jsfiddle.net/qx7c3p72/ ( move your mouse to the upper left corner of the result window )
