I am in the process of re-engineering my local rugby club website that was created using frontpage. One of the requirements is to create informaton boxes with rounded corners. I have managed to achieve this with Firefox and Chrome but not in IE7 or IE8. Searching the internet I have seen some workarounds using gif images to create rounded corners but some of the coding looks flakey.
My questions
- Anybody know if This can be achieved using any of Coffee Cup's software
or
- Has anyone found a good solution to this technique.

Hi David
Thanks for the link re css3 border properties. I read a similar article a few weeks back which got my juices flowing.
I am using the - moz border and -webkit border to achieve my rounded corners for Firefox and Chrome in my test page.
IE 7 and IE8 do not support CSS3 rounded corners and therefore searching for a good workaround for IE.
All I can find to create round corners for IE is to use gif round corner images. Trying to find something a little cleaner and less cumbersome. Dave Butler

I don't think cleaner and less cumbersome and IE can go in the same sentence :) Volunteering to help :)
