Fw: question about CSS for rounded corners on tables + looking to purchase a good set of application icons

Hi Kay,

Icons: Great site for royalty free icons: http://iconfactory.com/home.

CSS: Right now most browsers are supporting CSS2. In CSS3 there are new 
properties that allow you to specify something like border-radius: 5px; 
but right now none of the browsers except for maybe the newest firefox and 
safari support these newer properties. I do know that Flex allows for 
rounded corners for some of it's widgets:
http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/consulting/styleexplorer/Flex2StyleExplorer.html
. You can actually export the css it generates, however since rounded 
corners in CSS is still relatively new it's not fully supported in all 
browsers, we've noticed problems of course in Explorer 6.

All that said you can achieve rounded corners with a combination of HTML 
and CSS - You are using properties like position absolute to properly 
position the corners. More information can be found here:

I hope you may find this useful

Hello - Does anyone know CSS that allows for rounded table corners that 
will
work on all browsers. I have been able to find CSS that works reliably 
with
Mozilla browsers, but not all across the board. 

 

Also, I need to purchase icons for a Web-based financial application 
(icons
need to be in .gif format with transparent background). Do you know of a
good site to visit for this type of artwork? They need to be royalty-free
once purchased. 

 

Thanks!

 

Kay
