roundcorners Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I know a similar thread has been posted about fieldsets and IE's round corners, however, I'm becoming increasingly frustrated because I cannot achieve a fieldset with rounded corners on my machine. I am using xp sp2, ie7. I have created a html doc on another machine with same platform and browser and hey presto the corners were round. I am doing nothing different, I haven't set borders in the css for the fieldset, and have tried a load of different variations. I have searched for an answer everywhere. I can only assume that my version of ie7 is missing an important update perhaps. My question is has anyone else experienced this apparent anomoly, are there any known issues regarding the fieldset rounded corners?Any comments are very welcome.

Wander Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 rounding corners arent possible with css in IE as far as i know, maybe with javascript, but easiest way is using images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roundcorners Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 Been told that round corners come as standard on a fieldset with IE, that css isn't required, and can infact produce square corners if a css border declaration is made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Even so, with 2K of .png images you can make scalable divs that hover over your page with perfect anti-aliasing and gorgeous drop shadows and highlights and a style that's all your own. And if you write the code generically enough, you can use it over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Do you have any CSS on the fieldset? From what I'm seeing IE will render the border with rounded corners by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roundcorners Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Thanks for all the answers.I have tried this html with css and without css. It's particularly strange, because I have used the same html on another pc running xp, ie7, no css, and there were round-corners on my fieldset. But what ever I seem to do now with xp and ei7 I get squares. I think I'll just have to live with them, create some custom corners.
