CSS: Border radius with CSS3

   


I continue exploring new properties that will be introduced with CSS3. This time I like to share information on the border radius property, which is really a great thing, considering that most of us probably had to create such effect for a new web site or application more than once. Personally I like rounded corners, even if - I must admit - recently I've started to prefer live corners again. That is probably related to fashion or personal taste and aesthetic; however, from a technical point of view, you know how tricky is/was to create such round corners effect. At the beginning we used a set of small gif images - and that was a real mess - then came jQuery or JavaScript in general.
And what about now? CSS3!

Web application’s menus

   


When developing a web application, one of the things I am almost always dissatisfied with is menus. Thinking back to my first web app, I now realise how much I pondered and rethought about the user interface and about the way all the single functions are logically made available to the user. That is usually done through an intelligent menu.

jQuery: the magic wand

   


I don't like CMSs. Well, I must admit: I really hate CMSs. I'm stating that just because I do like programming my own web site with complete freedom. And CMSs - even if they claim to be complete or complicated - are usually too tight for my needs.
Even though that is always true and I won't change my mind in the future, I do believe that sometimes programming everything in a web site is very hard and time consuming. So a little help - with complete freedom and customization - is welcome.

jQuery has nothing to do with CMSs
