Curved Containers

Is there a css way to create Curved Containers without creating little images to go in corners ????

Re: Curved Containers

sure their is, but it would use so much code, and have so much opratunity to break it would be pointless. You would have to make several tiny div's with a background colour that you want your curve to me made out of, all 1 px in height, each one shorter in then the other, in a way to form a curve.

But an image would be faster, smaller (less bandwidth) and easyer to work with.

Re: Curved Containers

Use an absolutely placed bullet point to act as the corner

Re: Curved Containers

Ha, you guys are right, I guess there are ways to do it... but let's stick with "no", because the normal method which he is trying to avoid is so much easier.

Re: Curved Containers

As the example points out it is not ideal in terms of accessibility, from this point of view you might be better off using background images and CSS
