The personal disquiet of

Mark Boulton

Rounded corners in CSS

How many times have you heard “I’m sick of web­sites look­ing boxy”, no? Well, I get it almost every week. Once again ALA come up with the goods with a fant­astic art­icle of cre­at­ing roun­ded corners using css and semantic markup. 

What’s really inter­est­ing here is when the user’s font size is increased, the thing doesn’t break at all! I had to get up to about 300% of the ori­ginal spe­cified font size for the corners to start degrad­ing. Thing is, it wasn’t the corners that degraded — it was the type within the div (break­ing out of the div). Very nice.
