PicnicTutorials Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 I'm finally going to convert that site I'm always apologizing for (the table mess) over to css/divs. It's a pretty big site so it should take me awhile. But it will keep me busy and should be fun. I'm going to use PIE.htc and css3 to make the rounded corner of the main container div unless someone knows of a better option. I guess I could use images too? Hmmm.... Quote
Andrea Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Your childcare site? Yeah!!! The couple times I've used rounded corners, I just used the CSS and let IE be square, but that may not work for your design - (or your sense of perfection ) Quote
PicnicTutorials Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Yeah that one. Yeah check out PIE.htc. It's a small htc file feed to ie and it enables css3 border radius, shadow, and gradient in ie and looks perfect. Aside from images I think that may be my best option. But I think I want the shadow too which gets very complicated with images so css3 it probably is. and I just read that ie9 will support css3 rounded corners so it's only ie8>. that's less than right - ha ha Edited February 3, 2011 by Eric Quote
virtual Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) At least you will now be ahead of the times and just waiting for IE to catch up. I did the same as Andrea, I let the corners be square in IE. I did try CSSPie but it only worked on the top corners not on the bottom ones, go figure, so I gave up. P.S. Did you forget my little request??? Edited February 3, 2011 by virtual Quote
PicnicTutorials Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Posted February 3, 2011 No I didn't forget. I got side tracked. I'll look tomorrow morning. I'm not very good with js but maybe I can think of something. Quote
Susie Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Cool! I really love that site. Now to make your life even easier, you should totally integrate a CMS. My vote is WordPress! Quote
PicnicTutorials Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Posted February 3, 2011 Cool! I really love that site. Now to make your life even easier, you should totally integrate a CMS. My vote is WordPress! Pagelime CMS even has an iPhone app. I could make edits right on my phone. Quote
virtual Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) Cheez, and here I am still struggling with the Beast WordPress, Oh I hate it... It's adding p tags and br tags which I haven't used in a thousand years and is so unfamiliar. Yeah Eric, give me Pagelime or Surreal anyday, and besides the client has to learn how to use the Dashboard. Not to worry, it's Beginners Anguish... I'll get through it and hopefully it won't be the end of me... Edited February 4, 2011 by virtual Quote
PicnicTutorials Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Posted March 23, 2011 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. Quote
coollew Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Hey glad you got it figured it out looks good, and good luck. Edited March 24, 2011 by coollew Quote
joecool Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 Hi Eric, I love the site. I love the little sound effects when I hover over the menu, makes me feel like I am at kindergarden. It feels like a site done from the heart and one you can trust. Quote
PicnicTutorials Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Posted March 24, 2011 Thanks guys I appreciate the kind words. Quote
