Re: [css-d] How to make rounded corners box with one image?
The values you need will depend on the radius of your corners and on the offset of the drop shadow. If you don't use it already I would strongly recommend familiarising yourself with firebug. Thanks for the tip on using firebug; it made creating the rounded corners box so much easier. Previously, I had only used it for debugging javascript. I wonder how one would do things like rounded corners boxes without such as tool as firebug. -Dan __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
Re: [css-d] How to make rounded corners box with one image?
Hey dan, Thank you for the link to your blog post. Your method explanation is well put together and clear. Unfortunately, however, it's not quite what I'm looking for. I found an example online:http://modxcms.com/about/blog/rthrash/simple-rounded-corner-css-boxes.html that seemingly matches what I'm looking for. The concept is clear, but I need some help in figuring out how to determine margins/padding for the respective image used. If you or anyone else has used or understands the method demonstrated in the link provided, could you help clarify how to determine the needed margins/padding? Thanks. Regards, Dan The problem is with what you think you want. Using a single image will not allow for expansion of the box if someone has the default text size kicked up. This can get you into difficulties if, for instance, the text color of the box is the same color as the background everywhere else, since the text will, with a larger text size, overflow your single image background. You can't (and shouldn't) expect that all computer/screen/default font size/resolution combinations will see what you see. Better for you to bite the bullet and learn proper css technique to allow for as many possible combinations as possible. Which means a sliding technique using two images for a fixed width box. -- Ciao for now, bj mailto:b...@bitchslappin.net __ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

The values you need will depend on the radius of your corners and on the offset of the drop shadow. If you don't use it already I would strongly recommend familiarising yourself with firebug. Copy the example and replace the background image with your own. Firebug allows you to adjust CSS (and lots of other things) live so you can get instant visual feedback as to what the different values are doing to the rendering.

Hi Brian,
Thank you for the link to your blog post. Your method explanation is well put
together and clear. Unfortunately, however, it's not quite what I'm looking
for.
I found an example online:

Hi Dan,
Here's a recent post I wrote on our web design blog here at University of
Alabama:
http://webtide.wordpress.com/2009/04/21/one-way-to-do-rounded-rectangles-with-css-background-images/
I don't know if it would match what you are looking for because it's more than
one image - but it's 2 instead of 4. It's pretty simple and seems to be
working fine unless I missed something in my testing.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [css-d] How to make rounded corners box with one image?
I'm relatively new to css and for the past few weeks, I've been trying to
create a rounded corners box with one image. I've searched online but
nothing I've found so far clearly explains how to use one image to create
the rounded corners box. They all suggest to use four 'hooks' i.e. divs
and use background positioning to give each of the hooks a background
position of a corner. While I understand the concept, I'm at a loss for
moving thehooks into proper position using margins/padding.
I'd like to learn/figure out how to logically/mathematically determine how
much margin/padding to use in order to position the background image
properly to create the rounded corners effect. Currently, I've been
guessing/checking.
I was able to piece together from web searches html and css for a round
corners box. The end product does create a rounded corners box but, the
css used causes issues when floating the containing div and more
importantly, I don't understand how it works/comes together.
Below is the html and css for the rounded corners box. If anyone could
review the code and help me understand how to properly (with clean and
simple css) put together a rounded corners box it would be appreciated.
Thanks.
