Curved corner (border-radius) cross browser
Update 18 November , 2009: The htc file is updated by Nick F. Thanks man, you got time to check it out. Now supports FF, Chrome, Safari, IE6, IE7, IE8 (Os doesn’t matter).
This version of htc files can be found here and demo here
Update 17 August, 2009: This project is moved to Google Code. Please find the htc files on http://code.google.com/p/curved-corner. Links to htc file below will not work.
Update 16 July, 2009: htc file updated with support for IE8. Thanks to Kevin for coming up with a work-around. New htc file can be downloaded on
Update 10 June, 2009: Some servers need to set MIME type for HTC to work this in IE6.
To do this, follow the steps.
1. Go to your cpanel and click the MIME Types link
2. Under MIME Type, add text/x-component
3. Under Extensions, add htc
4. Restart Apache Web server
As I’ve pledged, today I’m posting the Curved corner without any js stuff.
For firefox, you can set border-radius by prefixing “-moz” to the css property. And ofcource for webkit use “-webkit” . Now IE ?? .. As IE is not a good browser to work with css, we need to make it so. Here, you need to use a nice css hack. Some how I managed to have an htc file to make border-radius work in IE 
. You can download it here. border-radius.htc .
The Demo
1 . I’ve just made: http://www.htmlremix.com/files/20080924-border-radius.zip
The CSS:
- .curved {
- -moz-border-radius:10px;
- -webkit-border-radius:10px;
- behavior:url(border-radius.htc);
- }
The HTML:
<div class="curved">Curvd div</div>
The explanation :
Do you really want an explanation for this simple 3 line css ?. I don’t think so. Ofcourse if you need, I can.
Browsers :
All browsers
Download
Many people failed to find a download link. So no one will miss it again now

Thanks Nick
Beside the fact that IE should be banned from the Internet, this solution isn’t working for me.
I have row in a HTML-Table which shold have curved corners while the cells have a background-image (actually just a gradient). Whenever I apply the border-radius.htc the background-image is being removed
Did I mentioned that I don’t understand people who are using IE?
Its really good see all these effects on IE browsers but the concern is, are these file are legal to use any where/any projects ? or these are copyrighted ?

Hi,
I used those lines for a while now (a year probably). I didn’t know about the htc file and I thank you for that, but you could complite your code with 2 additional lines :
-khtml-border-radius:3px; for Linux browsers
and
border-radius: 3px; for CSS3
Hi, sorry for my english,
when i use the border-radius in a element in a with overflow and scroll this, the lement with border-radius is fixed.
How we can change this ?
Thx and best regards
Mario
I love u

Doesn’t work when the parent DIV has a background color set.
The fact that this isn’t documented anywhere isn’t exactly helpful either.
I’d also love to get this working on IE6,IE7,IE8 – but the z-index issues are happening to me as well. I’m going to take a look at the code in the .htc (although I’ve never written one of these before) to see if it’s a quick tweak. Any help – especially by the totally awesome original author! – would be appreciated.
Hi, thanks for this, just thought I would note that it doesn’t actually work if you use css gradients on the div. For example, I have a div where if I use the border-radius.htc behavior when it has a solid black background, the corners are as expected. If I use the following for the background, the corners are not round…
background: #7d7e7d; /* Old browsers */
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #7d7e7d 0%, #0e0e0e 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#7d7e7d), color-stop(100%,#0e0e0e)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #7d7e7d 0%,#0e0e0e 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #7d7e7d 0%,#0e0e0e 100%); /* Opera11.10+ */
background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #7d7e7d 0%,#0e0e0e 100%); /* IE10+ */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#7d7e7d', endColorstr='#0e0e0e',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
background: linear-gradient(top, #7d7e7d 0%,#0e0e0e 100%); /* W3C */
Did you get fixed gradient with rounded corners in IE ?
totally ILL its does not work in HTML when we use in proper website HTML.
This has major issues with IE8, unusable in its current state due to z-index issue + background problems with elements.
Thank you for this solution. IE must die though, and currently it is slowly dying, 20% and falling
does this work with just the top two corners
border-top-left-radius: 10px;
border-top-right-radius: 10px;
or bottom 2?
It works for me on border-radius but not border-top-left-radius and similar properties.
I hope this can be fixed somehow.
doesn’t work on IE8+
Does a real crazy stunt with the background color.
It actually lays the background color of the div/H1 I want to set round corners to the very lowest z-index, UNDER any divs background it is nested in – so it seems to totally disappear. This in IE7. Have not tested IE8 or IE9.
Can you fix it?
Totally agree with Paul. It has real z-index issues on IE
Seconded.
I am contemplating redoing my CSS (one for real browsers, and using a conditional statement to cater to IE8, the nadir of the internet) and compelling people to use Firefox, Chrome, or anything else.
IE9 has some advantages, but it too has certain problems.
If only all companies would comply with open standards, completely and in good faith.
