Hi there pixelmonkey,

these are the four images on the left...

menu1 (http://www.modot.mo.gov/images/common/nav/CustomerServiceBanner.gif)
menu2 (http://www.modot.mo.gov/images/portal/MapRequest.jpg)
menu3 (http://www.modot.mo.gov/images/portal/OnlineSurvey.jpg)
menu4 (http://www.modot.mo.gov/images/portal/StateWebsite.gif)

Try the Graphic Design & Clipart forum for the means of making rounded corners :D

sorry about that... i should have explained it with more detail.

the main navigation on the page which starts with "Home" and ends with "News & Information"

those 2 links are what i'm trying to duplicate.
a rounded corner appears on the top left of Home and the bottom left of News & Information.

those are the 2 rounded corners I cant find or duplicate.

thanks!

It makes the rounded corners by setting the background image, using css, of the cells with an image with rounded corners.

CSS file (http://www.modot.mo.gov/css/Basic.css) - look for background-image in .navHome & .NavItemNewsOff

Hi there pixelmonkey,

There are no rounded corners on the the background images :confused:
I have collected the salient parts of the code, which somehow creates a rounded corner :supereek:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.navhome {
border-bottom:1px solid #000000;
background:url(http://www.modot.mo.gov/images/common/nav/HomeButtonBGOff.gif);
}

.NavItemHome {
border-bottom:1px solid #000000;
background:url(http://www.modot.mo.gov/images/common/nav/HomeButtonBGOn.gif);
}
body {
background:#336699;
}
//-->
</style>


<table><tr>
<td height="24"width="144" class="navhome" onmouseover="this.className='NavItemHome'"
onmouseout="this.className='navhome'"></td>
</tr></table>

This has to be a browser peculiarity

The images do have a rounded corner. It may be difficult to see because it is only about 5 or so pixles, but it is definantly done using an image and not some browser peculiarity.

Hi there pixelmonkey,

You are of course at liberty to believe in IKLOP's insistence that the images have a rounded corner,
all that I ask is that, you click on the the background links that are in the code I provided
and confirm that you can see these rounded corners :D

Look at this image (the background image for the home button):

Here is the same image, zoomed to 600% using Opera's zoom function:

Hi there Jere,

Thanks for drawing attention to another aspect of this old man's failing faculties :o :o
