Rounded Corners: FireFox vs. IE

M

Matt White

I know the rounded corners question has been solved many times, but I
am working with some HTML that is already in place and needs some
fixing. The problem is that it renders fine in FireFox but IE refuses
to play nicely. Here is the code - the background colors are only
there to show the table data entries (they will all end up being
white). It seems as though the height of the row is too high, but no
matter how I change it, it won't go. If you open it in FireFox, it
looks perfect. Any ideas as to what I need to do to make IE render
this properly? Thanks.

The corner images can be obtained at http://clicksellgo.com/suppliers/suppliers.
They are the top left and right corners of the white table in the
middle of the page.

Ok, I've tried several different DOCTYPEs as documented at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms535242.aspx and IE still
won't work properly. Firefox works fine with all of them. Any ideas as
to why? Thanks.

Ok, I got it. In case anyone runs into this silly IE only problem, it
treats the extra whitespace on either side of the img tag as literal
and thinks that you've entered text into the table, so it puts that
into the cell. Retarded. Basically, you have to have <td><img ...><td>
for it to work right.
