@Steve Actually Steve, what I was "dispelling" was the fact that jQuery was some how uniquely able to create rounded corners where as other libs are not. Your post actually further reinforced what I was saying, namely, there is no magic involved - you either use some divs or flash to fake it, or you use the border radius css property on non-shit- tastic browsers.
Not really sure what you were disagreeing with me about, but the fact that jQuery can grab some DOM nodes and place divs around them is no special feat. I felt it necessary to shine the light of reality on the sycophantic puppy-dog-leg-humping the web is giving a simple little DOM manipulation library, jQuery. - Daniel On Aug 22, 9:09 pm, "Steve Onnis" <[email protected]> wrote: > The way jQuery does it is by creating lots of 1px height divs creating a > rounded corner by varying the widths of said divs. This is a hack in my > opinion.
