Quote:Rounded corners are one of the most frequently requested CSS techniques. As with many things in CSS, there are various ways in which this problem can be approached. In this article, I'll look at the pros and cons of some common techniques and introduce a new technique that utilises both CSS and JavaScript.

Quote:Before we dive in to the CSS, let's remind ourselves of the old fashioned approach to this problem, which uses layout tables:

<table width="200" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> 
<tr> 
 <td width="15"><img src="tl.gif" alt="" /></td> 
 <td bgcolor="#1b5151"></td> 
 <td width="15"><img src="tr.gif" alt="" /></td> 
</tr> 
<tr bgcolor="#1b5151"> 
 <td> </td> 
 <td>Content goes here</td> 
 <td> </td> 
</tr> 
<tr bgcolor="#1b5151"> 
 <td><img src="bl.gif" alt="" /></td> 
 <td></td> 
 <td><img src="br.gif" alt="" /></td> 
</tr> 
</table>

Quote:A few years ago this would have been an acceptable solution. Today, it's an ugly hack: that's an awful lot of redundant markup for a relatively unimportant visual decoration.

The solution, as explained by Eric Meyer in Images, Tables and Mysterious Gaps, is to add the following rule to your stylesheet:

Using javascript for rounded corners is simply unnecessary. If you are looking for an example, I suggest nifty corners. Thats the best tut for rounded corners without images. Rounded corners look better as images, so thats what I use.

I use three divs for rounded corners, tables arent needed anymore .

I wasn't suggesting anything

Just thought it was an interesting alternative; and besides, if forum themes were to adopt those practices - nothing would get made.

Oh, I know, rereading it does sound like I meant "you" as in YOU, I meant you as in general people :p. And I agree

Hehehe!

Never noticed or took it to mean me.

Brother! have I seen some arguments about the "YOU" and you.

"YOU SAID ME"

"No I didn't, I meant it to be "Anyone"

"THEN SAY ANYONE!" Lol

And so it goes on.
