The best CSS rounded corners method
I love this example :
Even More CSS Roudned Corners 2
Project Home
Basic Example
The HTML is simple
<div class="dialog"><div class="content"><div class="t"></div>
<!-- Your content goes here -->
</div><div class="b"><div></div></div></div>
The Css is excellent
/*
-- Even more rounded corners with CSS: Base stylesheet --
*/
.dialog {
position:relative;
margin:0px auto;
min-width:8em;
max-width:760px; /* based on image dimensions - not quite consistent with drip styles yet */
color:#fff;
z-index:1;
margin-left:12px; /* default, width of left corner */
margin-bottom:0.5em; /* spacing under dialog */
}
.dialog .content,
.dialog .t,
.dialog .b,
.dialog .b div {
background:transparent url(dialog2-blue-800x1600.png) no-repeat top right;
_background-image:url(dialog2-blue.gif);
}
.dialog .content {
position:relative;
zoom:1;
_overflow-y:hidden;
padding:0px 12px 0px 0px;
}
.dialog .t {
/* top+left vertical slice */
position:absolute;
left:0px;
top:0px;
width:12px; /* top slice width */
margin-left:-12px;
height:100%;
_height:1600px; /* arbitrary long height, IE 6 */
background-position:top left;
}
.dialog .b {
/* bottom */
position:relative;
width:100%;
}
.dialog .b,
.dialog .b div {
height:30px; /* height of bottom cap/shade */
font-size:1px;
}
.dialog .b {
background-position:bottom right;
}
.dialog .b div {
position:relative;
width:12px; /* bottom corner width */
margin-left:-12px;
background-position:bottom left;
}
.dialog .hd,
.dialog .bd,
.dialog .ft {
position:relative;
}
.dialog .wrapper {
/* extra content protector - preventing vertical overflow (past background) */
position:static;
max-height:1000px;
overflow:auto; /* note that overflow:auto causes a rather annoying
redraw "lag" in Firefox 2, and may degrade performance.
Might be worth trying without if you aren't worried about
height/overflow issues. */
}
.dialog h1,
.dialog p {
margin:0px; /* margins will blow out backgrounds, leaving whitespace. */
padding:0.5em 0px 0.5em 0px;
}
.dialog h1 {
padding-bottom:0px;
}
