Rounding Corners the Newschool Way

3 June 2007 971 views 2 Comments

It has always been the wish of every webmaster to get rid of those edgy design one can create with ordinary CSS declarations. So since the very beginning people have been trying to round the corners of boxes.

Rounded corners in the old days were most often created by using images that were placed at the correct position within

Tags. That was unpractical, especially when using many different coloured boxes and overlays. I found this funny site where you can generate HTML, CSS and corner images for the oldschool aproach.

Nowadays there are different possiblities to round corners. I did not try them all yet but for now and will list all I found and come back to you to tell you, which one worked the best for me:
