在向下导航菜单上实现圆角

Question

I am working on the slide down menu you can see here . I have rounded corners on both ul#navigation and ul.subnavigation . When the submenu slides down it is possible to see the border at the bottom of ul.subnavigation overlap with the content of ul#navigation , when I would like it to slide down smoothly, without the 'flicker'. I am aware that this issue is caused by the rounded corners. I need ul.subnavigation to cover the rounded corners at the bottom of ul#navigation when the menu drops down, without seeing the double border-bottom issue. I hope this is clear! Code is below.

Thanks,

Nick

HTML

<ul id="navigation">
    <li class="dropdown"><a href="#">menu</a>

            <li><a href="#">help</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">disable tips</a></li>

Why position the submenu? Remove the positioning on it and just hide it till hover triggers.
