Jquery Rounded Corners Plugin Example - cross browser CSS replacement

A while ago I wrote an article on how to implement CSS3 and Cross browser rounded corner CSS. That article (http://www.mccran.co.uk/index.cfm/2010/7/8/CSS-3-Rounded-Corners-Example) mentions that the CSS3 code has not been adopted as a standard by some browsers (IE - I'm looking at you) but that there are some work around's to it, most of which involve re writing DOM elements using JavaScript.

This article deals with a JQuery plugin that can emulate a totally cross browser CSS3 rounded corners solution.

There is an example of the finished code here: JQuery Rounded Corners example

CSS 3 Rounded Corners Example

My curiosity into CSS 3 was piqued at Scotch on the Rocks 2010 this year. There was a very good presentation from Chris Mills from Opera http://twitter.com/chrisdavidmills where he touched on some of the new CSS 3 and HTML 5 functionality that some of the modern browsers are taking advantage of. I particularly liked some of the really simple, but visual CSS 3 changes, in this case rounded corners.

This article is a quick example of how to add rounded corner styling to your designs.

Here is a demo of CSS 3 rounded corners in action.

Using the JQuery Cookie plugin to emulate server side forms

A project request recently came up where we needed to track some users responses to a series of questions, then build an account 'home' page based on those responses. Pretty straight forward you'll agree. The problem here arose from the clients using a bespoke online solution that blocked any kind of server side interaction.

I've played with JavaScript cookies in the past to remember display states in JQuery functions, so I thought they would be a great solution to this. This article deals with how to use JavaScript cookies to emulate a normal form submission.

The article deals with using cfcontent to serve up dynamic data driven CSS. I'll use Coldfusion to embed variables in a cfm file, then use cfcontent to have the browser serve the content as a CSS file.
