Question

I am having an issue getting Chrome to display my rounded corners on a drop down nav I have built from scratch. The rounded corners are displaying just fine in Firefox, but Chrome and IE9 don’t seem to want to render my corners. I have changed my rounded corner call to the last <li> element in my drop down as well as the last <a> which I have displayed as blocks with a width and height properties, but nothing seems to do the trick!

So I figured I would post here to see if anyone can give me a nudge in the right direction.

The site is still in early development, so don’t worry about the redundant anchor links.

My HTML:

<nav>
        <ul id="mainNav">
            <li>
                <a href="highlevel.html" class="autos"></a>
                <ul>
                    <li><a href="subcategory.html">News</a></li>
                    <li><a href="subcategory.html">Reviews</a></li>
                    <li><a href="subcategory.html">Car Tech</a></li>
                    <li><a href="subcategory.html">Fuel Economy &amp; Safety</a></li>
                    <li><a href="subcategory.html">Buying &amp; Selling</a></li>
                    <li><a href="subcategory.html">Everything Else</a></li>
                </ul>
            </li>
            <li>
                <a href="highlevel.html" class="lifestyles"></a>
                <ul>
                    <li><a href="subcategory.html">Music</a></li>

                    <li><a href="subcategory.html">Everything Else</a></li>
                </ul>
            </li>
            <li>
                <a href="highlevel.html" class="people"></a>

            <li>
                <a href="highlevel.html" class="tech"></a>
                <ul>
                    <li><a href="subcategory.html">Business</a></li>

Answer 1

You could do it like this:

#mainNav li:hover ul li:last-child a{
    border-radius: 0px 0px 7px 7px;     
}

You also need to get rid of the 40px padding-left on the containing ul

Adding padding to the bottom is fine but makes it look a little messy especially if you are using borders around the individual links
