Border on navigation bar ?
Hi all
I have a simple example of the nav I’m working with here.
It’s a list of links that have a white border on the sides and bottom that separate it form a second nav bar below.
When a button is selected it’s bottom border changes to color of the bar below and joins them. Like the Home button in this example.
My Problem is I want the white border on the bottom of the buttons to go along the whole of the dark gray bar like in attached image. I can’t think how to do this and still have the gold bottom border when the button is selected.
