Sigh?
I keep forgetting that, at least in the version I’m using, you can’t see rounded CSS corners in Internet Explorer. Please do not tell me to switch browsers, I have at least three browsers on my computer, I actually prefer IE the last two years. I know how SLOmg awful it is to everyone who is ‘intelligent’, leave it alone.
Would it be outrageous if when designing a CSS template I used the **// ie thing to use images specifically for IE? Since most of the rest of the world will be able to see the rounded corners? It would affect load time for IE, but… oh well?
I could just go with 90 degree corners, I know, but that’s not what I DESIGNED! And we all know that Echoia don’t play. We also know that Echoia -usually- goes a little graphics-heavy. I wasn’t going to, I was just going to do rounded corners with CSS because for some reason I was working in FireFox … but then remembered they don’t come up in IE (v 8).
Other solutions?
Don’t worry, ie8 is not that terrible
There is less of a stigma to it compared to say.. ie6. Anyway! Using conditional comments is not terrible but in my experience you might as well just use images for all browsers – since you’re making and implementing them anyway. Maybe that’s just the time management fiend in me talking!

Hi Echo! First of all very belated congrats for your son (I’ve become shy

Re: rounded corners – try http://snarkforums.com/index.php?topic=9527.msg287139#msg287139
Tested it in FF, Chrome, Opera, IE8 – 6. Though in IE 6 the bottom corners might need some adjusting.
Then again, as of late, I ditched the CSS only way, and do it with JS, as it’s much faster (time-wise).
P.S. Love the layout. Missed seeing your graphics.
