I've been seeing more and more rounded corners on containers and find
that I'm way behind the curve on this.

It seems there are a lot of different ways of doing this sans custom

Who is doing rounded corners and how are you doing it?

I've been away from the stylesheet group for some time, nice to see
some names I remember, but there's a quite a few missing also.

Please tell me your choice of metaphors was intentional. I want to
believe in you.

Absolutely. I thought it was too obvious to quote.

Well, sometimes people back into those without seeing them.

Now, that's funny!

Have a good New Year.

If you have a sufficiently restricted audience, I wonder whether it is
reasonable to use proposed CSS3 facilities alone.

For safari and other Webkit browsers I have been testing
-webkit-border-radius: 0.3em;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em darkblue;

and the moz equivalent for Firefox. I am willing to let IE just ignore
the rounded corners and so on.

Thanks to all.

I think I will go with one of the javascript methods as it seems to
degrade well, and then switch to CSS3 in the future. The CSS2 hack
didn't work in my IE6 box and I really hate the idea of chopping up
images and putting them in tables.

That sounds perfectly reasonable.

Square corners do not block users. Round corners might look different,
but it having square corners wouldn't be a problem.

Considering the downsides of supporting other browsers that don't
support round corners:
* extra amount of code needed (performance/dl), maintenance issue of
non-semantic markup that is complicated by the appearance requirement.
* extra time to develop the code.

The benefits of supporting css-round corners are:
* fast, easy
* standards-based
* forwards-compatible
* configure the corners in one place in the CSS with no changes to
the HTML

Considering a project with time-constraints, you could: Make the round
corner using the correct way (using CSS), then add a P3 bug report for
an "IE appearance enhancement." to "work around limitations in IE".
This way, it gives the designers a chance to take it in perspective to
prioritize what's important and (hopefully) you can get more done.
