My goal is to design a navigation bar for my project, but I am facing an issue where random lines show up between the navigation elements. Here is an example of what I am experiencing: https://i.sstatic.net/UHI89.png

Despite using HTML and CSS for programming, I have been unable to remove these lines. Additionally, there is an unnecessary line present at the last "Contact" element.
