Consider the following HTML for a tabbed menu: <ul id=nav-tabs> <li class=active>Blah</li> <li>tab 2</li>

Consider the following HTML for a tabbed menu:

<ul id="nav-tabs">
    <li class="active">Blah</li>
    <li>tab 2</li>
    <li>tab 3</li>
    <li>tab 4</li>
    <li>tab 5</li>
</ul>

Not sure if this is doable, but I want to get the shape of the tabs to look like this with border-radius. no images. The top part is easy, but the bottom, how it curves out on the line is the part I don’t know if it’s possible:

    Posting comment as answer…

    Chris Coyier has an article addressing this: Tabs with Round Out Borders.

    His implementation is a little different than yours, but by playing with the border-radius you should be able to get the effect closer to what you have in your image, though I doubt you’ll be able to get the shadow working (if you prove me wrong, post your code here. Would be very interesting).
