The CSS3 rounded corner feature is a great addition but as long as there’s still IE6-8 floating around on people’s computers, I think designers would still always have to use the background image technque.

May be we’ll all have to wait another 5 years until all IE6-8 browsers have been upgraded and then we’ll be able to fully switch over and can just use this new CSS3 feature?

Hi Phil, yeah I completely agree. For personal projects I will use border-radius (for example, http://unitedonline.co.uk/) as it doesn’t bother me too much if IE users don’t get them… it’s still usable and accessible.

But I do agree that for commercial projects where clients are intent on pixel perfect cross browser designs that it probably isn’t the solution just yet sadly.

I’ll be having a look at JavaScript solutions for IE next week though so hopefully there will be a decent solution out there.

I’ve tentatively started using this technique in commercial projects but, unfortunately in most scanerios it’s just not ready and the big reason is IE7/IE8’s lack of support.

Therefore I find myself using border-radius in my default stylesheet then having an IE stylesheet which uses background images or sometimes using a JavaScript fallback (DD_roundies is a good ‘un). Often, JavaScript solutions just aren’t good enough for commerical work because they load too slowly or have glitches in the odd layout and having these separate solutions, to be honest, feels dirty and wrong.

We can only hope IE9 supports border-radius and that people actually download and install it. Sadly, neither is likely
