Forum:Rounded corners

Even though firefox is my default browser at home, if on a computer I go to internet explorer and go to wikia, the buttons won't be rounded. Do it though on firefox, and they will be rounded. Can you tell me why it is??

 * Because Internet Explorer is a bad web browser and doesn't support corner rounding done with pure CSS. --paxed 18:15, May 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * As per paxed. I have seen some Wikis that do work with rounded corners in Internet Explorer, but I forgot which one.-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 22:39, May 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * They most likely just create a picture of round corners and use it as a background-image instead. 23:36, May 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * To go a bit into technical details, the specification of how to render rounded corners in CSS is not really implemented in all browsers and those who support it usually require a special coding alike to what will be the final CSS standard. I think Wikia currently only supports all Gecko / Mozilla / Firefox programs which use "-moz-border-radius".  ( C rynsos  Talk 22:17, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * The buttons also work for WebKit-based browsers (Safari/Chrome) with the -webkit-border-radius property. The good news is that Internet Explorer 9 will support border-radius.  The bad news is that IE9 may not be generally available until sometime in 2011.   --Quarenon (Talk) 01:29, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Even worse news, IE9 will be Vista+ only... So the huge mass of Windows users that hate Vista and 7 will turn IE8 into the next IE6. Good news though, Opera already has border radius support in one of it's more recent versions, 10.50 iirc. So just about every browser already has border radius support. Gecko browsers through -moz, WebKit browsers through -webkit and older Safari versions through -khtml, Konqueror through -khtml, IE9 through standard border-radius, and Opera through standard border-radius... Problem though is most people that use border radius don't actually use it properly and exclude support for browsers that actually do support it. I already e-mailed Wikia about that. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) May 19, 2010 @ 02:56 (UTC)
