Rounded Corners Without Images
Adding a Professional Edge to Your Web Pages
It tends to look good if you can supply a background panel for highlighted sections of your website, or for all the different areas on a web page and by so doing, create a page design.
If you are frequently changing the content, using background images can be limiting.
The background you use has to be the right size, or the text will fall off the panel, extending past the edges of the background image you’ve drawn . . . or you have to break the image up into static and repeating sections to allow for expansion.
The Solution Is Not To Use Images
If you are happy to incorporate some javascript, you can do away with images altogether and programmatically arrange background panels for your pages. See below for an example using Nifty Cube. Take a look at the Nifty Corners web site for the options available.
This type of layout device cane be very useful if you want to create a site with user choices for colour schemes. It can all be achieved programmatically via PHP without having to create lots of different background image sets for each different look.
