Assuming jQuery is already being included, what are the tradeoffs between the following IE solutions for rounded corners:
a) Using a VML solution for rounded corners (such as css3PIE, dd_roundies, and curved-corner)
b) Using a jQuery plugin (such as curvy corners, rounded corners, or jQuery.corner) to generate corner PNGs/GIFs?
There is no good (and stable) substitute for
border-radius. VML has quite a few shortcomings which makes it render inappropriately or doesn’t correctly apply in edge cases (of which there are two many).My advice? Either listen to this advice or stick to generating PNG/GIF rounded corners and applying them via conditional comments for IE.
