Would you know why the bottom border appears on the nested ul's (line 36) instead of the parent ul (line 10)?

 

THANKS!

* {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
}

body {
	background: black;
}

nav ul {
	list-style: none;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #404040;
}

nav li {
	position: relative;
	float: left;
	
	/* Width for About, Graphic Design & Contact */
	width: 15%;
}

/* Width for Mobile Apps & Web */
nav li:nth-of-type(3), nav li:nth-of-type(4) {
	width: 27.5%;
}

nav a {
	color: #404040;
	font-size: 1.5em;
	font-weight: bold;
	text-decoration: none;
	display: block;
}

nav ul ul {
	/*display: none;*/
	position: absolute;
	z-index: 99;
}

nav li li {
	width: inherit;
	float: none;
}

nav li li a {
	font-size: 1.25em;
}

I tink this should take care of it.

nav ul {
    list-style: none;
    
    }
     
    nav li {
    position: relative;
    float: left;
    /* Width for About, Graphic Design & Contact */
    width: 15%;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #404040; /* Moved this from the rule above. */
    }
    
    nav li li {
	border: none;
	}
