curvycorners.net — There are a lot of rounded corners scripts out there, but none of them really achieve image quality corners with borders.This script not only has full anti-aliasing but also supports background images which can then layer other background images and still AA.I don’t know of one other script that can do that.

Very true, but I'm expecting at least five years before a really good majority (like 90% or more) of people will be using CSS3 compliant browsers. In the meantime, there _are_ ways to do fluid rounded corners in CSS2, they're just a pain in the ass, so I usually find myself going with fixed width layouts...

Do you like Digg?

Is slowing down your page using this script really worth the effect? Think about it.

Yea I tried both and I noticed that my RAM jumped huge in IE...that's od I think it might have something to do with screen resolution. I'm at 1272x808 internal window display size

Square corners - that's what's hip

Round corner link #317... Are digg webdevelopers so uncreative? Sure, I've used my fair share of round corners but I can't seem to recall ever having any problems implementing them and certainly not using a pre-made complex script for it.but really, the mere thought of doing operations like anti-aliasing in JavaScript is mind boggelingly evil. Decent client-side image manipulation will arrive when SVG becomes mainstream. Untill then you are better off doing it server-side.

Well-said. This is really cool from a programming perspective, it's a rather technical accomplishment! ;) However, the performance hit is quite significant, the script appears to wait for window.onload and thus has "flicker" as the elements are created, and finally, there are tons (hundreds, thousands?) of extra elements created. While very cool, I would not recommend this technique for use on large-scale sites or where performance is a concern.I tried something like this (though just adding absolutely-positioned images or whatever) a few years back, and I can't even recommend that technique - it still felt too slow when compared to raw CSS, and will probably always be.(Someone recently dugg a newer approach I'm using. It's CSS-only and therefore faster to render, but there is additional markup for each dialog.)<a class="user" href="http://www.schillmania.com/content/entries/2006/04/more-rounded-corners/">http://www.schillmania.com/content/entries/2006/04/more-rounded-corners/</a>I look forward to the day (in 2010, perhaps?) when we don't have to do this much work to get rounded corners. Of course by that time, it'll be some other crazy effect people want that we'll have to hack. ;)
