Internet Explorer is officially square
Thursday, December 03, 2009 by Duncan StockdillWe’ve been introducing rounded corners into the Javelin user interface recently. Rounded corners and curves are nice and they provide us with a simple way to keep Javelin looking fresh, or at least it should have been simple. As any web designer will tell you in words I can’t print here, Internet Explorer is a party pooper.
We’ve looked into using the many hacks for round corners in Internet Explorer and we tried a couple but they all have their issues which leads us to this position:
So instead of spending our days making Internet Explorer fit a round hole we’ve left it square. In Firefox, Safari and Chrome you’ll get some rounded corner love:
And in Internet Explorer you’ll see square:
And another example:
I’m not on a crusade to change your web browser. The beauty of web applications is you get to choose your operating system and browser, but if you are using Internet Explorer and want to consider an alternative then Mashable did a browser round up recently.

People still use IE?
Duncan Stockdill Fri Dec, 11 2009 at 09:20 pm

It’s the number who still use IE _6_ which surprises me most!

I’ve recently read about Chrome Frame, it’s a plug-in for IE that renders websites with the chrome engine. It’s seems like a perfect workaround for IE problems. I’m looking forward to test it. Meanwhile, I like using Adrian Pelletier way to say goodbye to IE.

People still use Windows? We saw the light a year ago and began the migration of the entire company to macs and Linux machines. We have one dept left and they are moving early 2010.

I know the feeling! My new blog looks lovely and curvey in any browser but IE. Shame. See http://topaccountants.com/ if you want to see for yourself. Glad I am not a web-designer, these things must drive you mad.
