Hello,
Here are your two best options. If css3 use http://css3pie.com/. If images you use 3 images 4 dives. Images are top, mid, bot.jpg. Top div holds top.jpg, mid holds mid.jpg with repeat-y, and bot div holds bot.jpg and nested in the the middle is content div which holds the padding. This is a fixed width rounded corner that will extend length wise as much as needed. If you need a flexible width box then you need about 8 images/divs.

The fact that ie9 cannot work on an XP was the deciding factor to not use css3 for me. Ie6 - 8 will be around untill XP dies and that is prob 20 years off. If it was only untill all upgraded to ie9 I would have gone css3 for my rounded corners. But I went images.

Hello, upload the link instead.

Thanks guys I appreciate the kind words.

Ok! Ten years later I'm finally done CSSing all the main pages. http://tinyurl.com/6gnvjq3 There is still quite a lot of other pages still to go (tour, other folders, etc). But this was a good chunck.

Ok that worked. I almost had to ask another but I figured it out. I was having a dickens of a time trying to add a border and a drop shadow to that transparent layer.
-
Awesome! Thank you very much Ben. If I can't get it from that then I have no business even opening up PS.
-
Coolew. Thanks for trying but unfortunately that second attempt was not much closer. Still has a white background and the borders stop at the corners. No worries I'll just AP an image over as soon as I can figure out how.
-
I hope I'm understanding your problem correctly. But are you trying to create a rounded-corner-rectangle with a transparent fill, but has colors around it?
It seems really hard to do it in Photoshop from what Ben is saying. If you have Fireworks however, you just select the Rounded Rectangle tool, choose "Transparent" as the fill color, choose a border color, then draw the rectangle, adjust the corners if you have to, then Flatten the image so you can fill the corners with a color with the paint bucket tool
That's right. Or any other way you can think of how to round that flash. I can also just AP some corners too. But one image would be easier. Unfortunately I only have photoshop. Im quite sure there is a easy way to do it. I'm just slow.

Ben you could use this web based screencast software. The video is stored on their servers and you just share the link. http://screencastle.com/ or any of these http://www.slimmity.com/2010/02/web-based-screencasting-apps/

Man I hate to drag out this simple question but. So when I right click on the name in the layer palet and select delete layer it deletes the layer from the layer palet but the selected rectangle remaines but now in the original layer. I must be missing something - usually am.
-
Yeah, sorry.
You could also do it with the rounded rectangle tool -- put the rounded rectangle in place, right click on it, and select "Make selection." Then, delete the rounded rectangle layer, and delete the selected area from the background layer.
God I'm retarded. How do I delete the rounded rectangle layer?

Thanks a lot for your effort coolew. I'll throw it up tommorrow morn and see how it plays. Thanks!
-
Ok thanks Ben I will give that a go tommorrow morn. I havn't used PS in a long time and have forgotten most of what I new. Now I'm a monkey hitting random keys again. Still at this CSS makeover I'm doing. Now I know why I put it off for so many years. At two hours each morning, this is probably going to take me another two months at least.

Eric:
I'm no flash pro by any means but ive been dabling
I gave it a shot for ya, shoot me an email from my profile and ill send ya the swf.
Hello, so I tested the swf you sent. Thank you! But it has a white background, no borders, and it shows a loading bar initially. If you could add that stuff that would work. The rounded corners should be around 5px.
-
If you're doing this with photoshop, I would start with a square image with one layer. That layer would initially be filled with white or whatever your background color is... and then you would use the circle select tool to remove the center of the square, leaving only the corners (hold down shift to ensure the selection is a perfect circle.) Then use the eraser to remove any additional corners that you don't need.
Make sense?
Thanks Ben. However I cant find a circle select tool? I was attempting to do this with the rounded rectangle tool. Are you talking about the elliptical marque tool?
-
Cool thanks!!

no no flash editor.

Hello,
I need to round the corners of the flash pics/slides at the very top of this page. http://goo.gl/ZVt2U
I believe to do this I need to use an image on the span nested in #intro span {yada}. #intro div surrounding the flash has fixed width/height of 600 width 139 height (same as the flash). So how do I make this image with a transparent center and ONLY corners? Thanks!

Looks perfect on my iPhone. Whenever I encounter a made for mobile site I immediately change it to the full site. I wouldn't bother. All these newer phones and tablets don't need a dumbed down site. They work better than my XP.
-
Might pay attention to menu's current state.
Yes your right Eddie. Thank you. I came to that conclusion also. Amazing I missed that originally. Now I'm working on keeping it in the include but calling the separate links. Might want to save this snippet for later... http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/php-34/different-linked-files-same-php-include-743592.html#post4836875

Thanks Ben. That's what I think I'll do. If it works then I'm running with it I guess.

Hello,
Someone else built this site a long time ago and I am cleaning it up. I have a flash menu (with html backup) that is embedded on each page. I put this menu into a php include. All good! But this morning I realized that each page has a different .swf called in the menu (e.g. home.swf, learning.swf, etc). All the links seem to still work fine however. So it seems to be the same menu on each page. I dont know enough about flash (nor have a flash editor to see) to know whats going on in the swf exactly. So why would the original web dev have a seperate swf for each page? Do I need each one? So do I need to take it out of the include? Or can I just use one single swf file for the menu? Guesses welcome. Thanks!
Example of my include...
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="250" height="400"> <param name="movie" value="aboutus.swf"> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> <!--[if !IE]>--> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="aboutus.swf" width="250" height="400"> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> <!--<![endif]--> alt content <!--[if !IE]>--> </object> <!--<![endif]--> </object>

ie6 user base is low but it is still twice as high as apple iOS. So if you look at in terms like that yes I still code for ie6. I do not use CC's I instead just use *html or *+html for ie7. Which ever thingy moduger I use must work in all because ie accounts for 60% of the web. Of course little things that don't matter a little css3 I'll use.
