Best Collection of CSS Rounded Corners Tutorials is a post from: Smashing Share | Web Resources, Design Inspiration, Freebies and Tutorials

Creating CSS Rounded Corners for the HTML or markup is a big challenge for most designers. Many end up with a design where they don’t use Rounded Corners to have an ease in creating markup or HTML and CSS pages. Rounded Corners have always been an issue in HTML/ CSS for the web designers. It’s not like there is no solution for this but which to pick has always been a question mark.

There are thousands of tutorials for “Rounded Corners” and hundreds of different ways (with CSS and images, using JavaScript etc.) to create Rounded Corners and this has been always very difficult to find the best and effective way to create a box with rounded corners.

Below we included CSS3 examples as well and it is very easy to add radius in CSS3. It’s just like (border-radius: 10px) and there are browser specific options to add this radius. Firefox uses the -moz-border-radius property to control the corner radius of a page’s border. Safari can accomplish the same result with the -webkit-border-radius or -khtml-border-radius properties. (Note: These CSS3 properties are not supported in IE and we have to use alternate ways to get rounded corners work in IE.)

In this post I have tried to create a best collection from those entire tutorials (including video tutorial). Still am sure there are many other Rounded Corners Tutorial left back which are not covered in this post and I expect from our readers to share them, if they find any, in the comments below.

24 Ways | Rounded Corner Boxes The CSS3 Way

If you’ve been doing CSS for a while you’ll know that there are approximately 3,762 ways to create a rounded corner box.
