CSS menu: width of dropdown items limited by div

Question

I have a problem with my dropdown menu ever since I moved it from a table to a div. In the table the submenus displayed perfectly fine, however now that they are in a div, wider submenu items are being wrapped underneath the menu item that is on the far right.

Here´s the fiddle, have look at the difference between the submenu underneath item 2 and item 3. The same accounts for item 4 and item 5 (far right). How do I set the width of the div such that it will take the width of the submenu into account?

HTML:

<div id="headerimg">
<div id="header">
    <div id="headercontent">    

        <div style="float: left; padding: 25px 50px 0 0;"><a href="home"><img src="" alt=""></a></div>

        <div style="float: left; padding-top: 48px">
            <nav>
                <ul style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px;"><!--
                --><li style="background-image: url(images/MenuBGres.png);"><a class="MenuLinks1" href="">MENU ITEM 1</a><!--

Answer 1

Found the solution. In nav ul ul li a, I simply put white-space: nowrap (changed it from normal, forgot why I put it in there in the first place...). Hope it will be useful to anyone.
