• IE and rounded corners

    Note: The original post was published March 19 2010. The original article’s CSS3 emulator of choice was CurvyCorners

    When someone uses the words “rounded corners” and “IE” in the same paragraph, rest assured a puppy has died somewhere.

    The days of using javascript lightboxes are over!

    Just kidding, javascript lightboxes remain a much more efficient and cross-browser friendly way of doing achieving the lightbox effect. This CSS3 lightbox tutorial is for demonstration purposes only. I’m doing this because it’s interesting to see how far you can push CSS and you end up learning quite a lot. I do at least.
