Apparently Genetically Modified canola plants were found growing by the road side, outside their designated farms in southern NSW. Naughty plants! Don’t the plants realise that “Farmers will have to sign a form at collection depots declaring their harvest is GM-free”. Haven’t the plants read the paper work. They are just not allowed to grow outside their designated areas. Surely that’s enough to stop the spread of GM crops.

As if.

I always thought that to create nice rounded corners on pages, you needed to use little bits of images for each corner.

However, I came across a way of doing this just using CSS. I’m sure its common knowledge to some, but I thought it was pretty cool.

Define the following CSS:

.corners {
    background:#EEE; /* Background of box */
    color:#000;
    margin:0px 0px;
}
.rtop, .rbottom{
    display:block;
    background:#FFF; /* Background, outside box*/
}
.rtop *, .rbottom *{
    display: block;
    height: 1px;
    overflow: hidden;
    background:#EEE; /* Background of top and bottom of box*/
}
.r1{margin: 0 5px}
.r2{margin: 0 3px}
.r3{margin: 0 2px}
.r4{margin: 0 1px; height: 2px}

Then surround your contents in the div shown below to produce the rounded corner effect show.

<div class="corners"><b class="rtop"><b class="r1"></b><b class="r2"></b><b class="r3"></b><b class="r4"></b></b>

Something inside a box with
rounded corners created using CSS above.


<b class="rbottom"><b class="r4"></b><b class="r3"></b><b class="r2"></b><b class="r1"></b></b></div>

Xanthe attended a Kinesiology conference in Sydney this weekend. One memorable quote from one of the speakers, Sylvia Marina, stuck with her.

What is enough?
A healthy body, an intelligent mind and a heart full of love.

Can’t really add to that.
