IE9 will support rounded corners! Now this must be progress by M$
programmers:

"As we improve support in IE for technologies that site developers use,
the score will continue to go up. A more meaningful (from the point of
view of web developers) example of standards support involves rounded
corners. Here�s IE9 drawing rounded corners, along with the underlying
mark-up:"

No more using images. Great. But it will be proprietary, which means your
rounded corners will not work in all browsers.

It will be as standard as it can be, considering CSS3 is still in draft.
Firefox and others added this feature earlier, but they did it in different
ways and in a way that does not comply with the current CSS3 draft
("-moz-border-radius", "-webkit-border-radius",
"-moz-border-radius-topright", etc.). The markup shown in that IE9 blog is
consistent with CSS3 draft as of Oct 2009,
(http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#the-border-radius ). This is one case
where you blame the other browsers, not IE.

Standards compliance is a rather difficult refactor, esp. if you solved
the problem prior to the standard. The difficulty is exacerbated by
having to not break the "older" method when you institute the new.
Fortuantely, MS is behind the curve here and focusing on the future
standard (which probably won't change).

Peace and Grace,

Does it make sense to worry about standards compliance in a Frontpage
forum?
