CSS - Box With Rounded Corners And Image Borders

What is the best way to make your element corners rounded with CSS? I'm kind of looking for a good tutorial.

Thanks for reading my question

Here is the link to the two pages in question.

http://www.pierced.ca/Kelly/cardsRound.htm http://www.pierced.ca/Kelly/indexRound.htm

I know my images for the rounded corners aren't round, that's not the problem. My problem is the positioning of the images.

When I view the pages using IE, the "Menu" images line up perfectly, and it's just the bl.jpg and br.jpg images on the "Info" section that don't.

When I view the pages using FireFox, the bl.jpg and br.jpg images on the "Menu" section are off.

Any words of wisdom to get both to work?

Thanks again,

Brad

Hi:

I'm told that forms cannot have rounded corners and that tables can.

Question: How do you do it?

I used this tutorial to create my rounded corner boxes.

Now if I change the font in the content of the box to italics, IE goes bananas. I read about the "Holly Hack" by setting the height to 1%. I can't seem to get it work with these rounded corner boxes. I'm not sure what div to apply it to. Here is the relevant html for the boxes:

Code:

<div class="bluebox">
			<div class="hd"><div class="c"></div></div>
			<div class="bd">
				<div class="c">
                                       <h4>Something</h4>
			               <p>Content Goes Here</p>
				</div>
			</div>
			<div class="ft"><div class="c"></div></div>
		</div>

And the css is this:

Code:

.bluebox {
margin:0 auto 8px auto;
color:#fff;
}

.bluebox .hd .c{
font-size:1px;
height:16px;
}

.bluebox .ft .c{
font-size:1px; /* ensure minimum height */
height:18px;
}

.bluebox .hd {
background:transparent url(images/tlb.gif) no-repeat 0px 0px;
}

.bluebox .hd .c {
background:transparent url(images/trb.gif) no-repeat right 0px;
}

.bluebox .bd {
background:transparent url(images/mlb.gif) repeat-y 0px 0px;
}

.bluebox .bd .c {
background:transparent url(images/mrb.gif) repeat-y right 0px;
}

.bluebox .bd .c .s {
background:#1caaec url(images/msb.jpg) repeat-x 0px 0px;
}

.bluebox .ft {
background:transparent url(images/blb.gif) no-repeat 0px 0px;
}

.bluebox .ft .c {
background:transparent url(images/brb.gif) no-repeat right 0px;
}

.bluebox h4 {
font:0.9em Verdana, sans-serif;
font-weight:bold;
padding-left:5px;
}

.bluebox p {
font:0.8em Verdana, arial, sans-serif;
font-style:italic;
padding:2px 10px 8px 5px;
text-align:justify;
color:#000000;
}

Any ideas where to stick the Holly Hack?

I was looking for the best way to implement rounded corners for my website and its been difficult evaluating the different methods and deciding which way is the best way to go.

So far the mountaintop method looks the most promising. The idea is to create a transpatent gif with the corners of the image as a white mountain shape. When you make this the background of the CSS div, the color of the background offsets and creates the image of rounded corners.

I am having a small issue implementing that as well, for example, ive created two images one for the top and one for the bottom, but I am not quite sure how to implement it as you cannot specify two background images per CSS div.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hi

I'm trying to match the overhead menu element of a Coppermine theme to a phpBB style. I've just run into a few problems and I was wonding if anyone could help please?

Coppermine here - http://www.brummiesfans.com/coppermine
phpBB3 here - http://www.brummiesfans.com/main/

Where I would like some help please is in getting the menu bar to have the same rounded corners as in phpBB3. What I have tried to do is to use the CSS from phpBB3, but on this occasion, it has
not worked. The code is shown below. I don't have a problem in Firefox, Safari or Chrome, as there is code in place to sort the rounded corners out in CSS, however I need the missing piece put into place for IE, and this is where I need help.

In phpBB3 the div classes are called "corners-top" and "corners-bottom".

The relevant graphics files have also been copied across. (e.g. www.brummiesfans.com/coppermine/themes/brummies/images/corners_right.png)

If someone can suggest how the matter can be fixed then I'd be very grateful.

The relevant bits of the template.html and style.css file wordings follow, which hopefully will be of help.

TEMPLATE.HTML
Code:

		<div class="navbar">

			<span class="corners-top"><span></span></span>

            <div id="main_menu">
                    {SYS_MENU}
                    {SUB_MENU}
                    {ADMIN_MENU}
                <!-- Begin IE7 support --><img src="images/spacer.gif" class="menuheight" alt="" /><!-- End IE7 support -->
            <div class="clearer"></div>

			<span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span>	
		</div>

STYLE.CSS
Code:

.post span.corners-top, .post span.corners-bottom, .panel span.corners-top, .panel span.corners-bottom, .navbar span.corners-top, .navbar span.corners-bottom {
	margin: 0 -10px;
}


span.corners-top {
	background-image: url("images/corners_left.png");
}

span.corners-top span {

}

	background-image: none;
	background-position: 100% 100%;
}

.headbg span.corners-bottom {
	margin-bottom: -1px;
}

	margin: 0 -10px 5px -10px;
}

.rules span.corners-bottom {
	margin: 5px -10px 0 -10px;
}

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi All,

In one of my websites, I like to have boxes (rounded corners) like here, which is almost ok, except the rightside repeater is not repeating and not in the place.

Do anybody know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Tried in different way, please have a look at it here

OK so what i'm trying to do, obviously, is create a rounded box. I'm using 6 images and the thing is divided into 3 parts vertically (the top part, the content part and the bottom part). Those parts are divided into 3 parts as well (left corner part, looping background part and right corner part). It works like a charm in real browsers, but IE is screwing things up as always. To simplify things, i'll just illustrate the concept of the top part of the box.

Code:

<div id="thebox">
<div class="dbtopleft"><div class="dbtopright"><div class="dbtoploop"></div></div></div>
</div>

So we have a wrapping div that is, let's say, 500 pixels wide and inside we have the top part: topleft div contains a left corner image, topright div contains a right corner image and is padded 25 pixels (the width of the corner) left and right. The middle div (toploop) has a top looping picture and is, obviously, 25 pixels away from each side. Here's css illustrating that:

Code:

#thebox {
    position: absolute;
    left: 500px;
    top: 300px;
}
.dbtopleft {
    background: url(cb_tl.png) no-repeat;
    height: 25px;
}
.dbtopright {
    background: url(cb_tr.png) no-repeat top right;
    height: 25px;
    padding: 0 25px 0 25px;
}
.dbtoploop {
    background: url(cb_t.png) repeat-x;
    height: 25px;
}

So, as i've already mentioned, this thing works in normal browsers, but in ie it doesn't take the full width of the wrapper div. Instead it displays an ~50px box with both corners and the wrapper is ... well ... 500px. Does someone know of any hack to make this code work in stupid IE?

Update: if i specified the width of the wrapper, it would seem to work, but i don't want to do that, since the width may vary.

The page I'm working on
and
The css script

as you can see, the inside of the corners are not rounded. How do I resolve this?

One problem I've had so far with CSS, is that I haven't found a good way to display rounded corners or anything that would change the perfect rectangle of a div. Previously, using tables, I would just set up a 9x9 table with a repeating background on the top bottom and sides, then an image in each corner. That allowed me a lot of flexibility.

Is there some sort of equivalent to this in CSS, or a way of getting around it?

Hi all,

I would like to create a menu that has the following:
current - top left rounded corner, top right rounded corner and background of the same colour (see the below image for example).
These have to be in Validate CSS and without images
I have found the following but it is not a Validate CSS and those not work in IE

Any help please?

Underneath please find the following:
What I have found (not CSS Validate) Link for the webpage (work only in Firefox - rounded corners) Image (example) CSS (code) XHTML (code)
Thanks in advance

Hello,

I am in the making of my first css site. I made some rounded corners boxes in photoshop and saved them as gif. When I load them in the css code, the image shows up as i wanted in the box divs, but the issue is that the white box around the rounded corners are there and is very disturbing. Any tips on how to remove these white edges?

Any answer is appreciated

Working to set up a template that has containers with rounded corners WITH outlines. I have the round corners and sides...just can figure out how to add the top and bottom line to complete the container.

If I use a border-top it extends past the rounded corners.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I want to setup tab links / tab strips like shown in the following article:
http://www.codeproject.com/html/css_round.asp

However, in addition to rounded corners, id like to have the individual tabs use a gradient. Its the center part that im not sure how to handle.

Help ?!!!

Can you do something like the following:
Code:

a.tab { 
   color: #000; 
   background: #fb0 url("left-tab.gif") left top no-repeat; 
   text-decoration: none; 
   padding-left: 10px 
}

a.tab span {
   background: url("right-tab.gif") right top no-repeat;
   padding-right: 10px
}

/*my addition and it does not work */
a.tab span div {
   background: url("center-tab.gif") center top repeat-x;
}

And then use the links like so:
Code:

<a href="#"><span><div>Home</div></span></a>
