Nifty Corners – Curves Without Graphics
Posted under: Working on a site day in day out does mean you soon get bored of the look and feel – so once again Loquax has started to undergo a bit of a makeover. Out goes the cramped top section and in come some funky looking tabs and some nice curve tables. The tabs are pretty cool and thanks to Nifty Corners are made purely from CSS wizardy pokery – no images involved whatsoever.
The code offers a lot more than simple tabs though and if you’re thinking of redesigning your site in the future then it might be worth a look. The one drawback though we’ve found is that you can’t repeat the ‘DIV’ classes again and again. Each section requires a unique id and until we figure out how to overcome this only the top tables will get some nice curves.
At present only the homepage has been transformed. Rolling out the rest of the site won’t take too long, however we decided to gauge user reaction before spending time changing everything. So far so good… all thanks to some rather nifty corners!
