CSS Rounded Corners

I have been creating my own rounded corners using a table structure and 6 images on a couple of web sites that we are building. But I started to wonder if there was an easier way to round corners without all the images and etc. Today I came across benogle and his CSS Rounded Corners demonstration which is one really nice way to create what used to require quite a bit of image slicing.

He creates a number of classes with each class having a slightly smaller margin. Then combine the different classes utilizing a bold tag with the content in div tags. Here is a simple example:

.b1f, .b2f, .b3f, .b4f{font-size:1px; overflow:hidden; display:block;}
.b1f {height:1px; background:#ddd; margin:0 5px;}
.b2f {height:1px; background:#ddd; margin:0 3px;}
.b3f {height:1px; background:#ddd; margin:0 2px;}
.b4f {height:2px; background:#ddd; margin:0 1px;}
.contentf {background: #ddd;}
.contentf div {margin-left: 5px;}
<b class="b1f"></b><b class="b2f"></b><b class="b3f"></b><b class="b4f"></b>
    <div class="contentf">
        <div>Round FILL!!</div>
    </div>
<b class="b4f"></b><b class="b3f"></b><b class="b2f"></b><b class="b1f"></b>

Re: CSS Rounded Corners

A nice solution.

Hopefully soon we'll be able to use the CSS only method once enough people move on from the older browsers...

Re: CSS Rounded Corners

Most codes I usually find are the ones that would require me to download softwares, and I don't like that. Thank you for this post :-)

I have been working with this code a lot this week. I made some modifications and also recreated the html code in aspx code. Very interesting.

Re: CSS Rounded Corners

It would be interesting to see the updates you have made.

The code already looks pretty tidy.

Re: CSS Rounded Corners

The new rounded corner support with VS 2010 is something everyone is looking forward to.
