Hi there,

I'm using HTML5/CSS3 "border-radius:4px;" to make my borders round/curved. This works fine in IE9.

How do I do it for IE7/8 because it displays normal block borders.

Any help on this please,
Regards

You cannot. It's the browser that does not support it and you don't have any control on it.

HTML5 is new and all the browsers are trying to support as much HTML5 features possible in their current and upcoming versions. HTML5 is not back compatible with older version of browsers. For Internet Explorer, IE9 onwards support HTML5.

Thank you, after intense research i read that it's not possible. I got it working with jquery but doesn't look to appealing to the eye.

Even though the problem is related to CSS only, jQuery is a good library, useful in very many cases.

As Sandeep correctly put it, rounded corners are not supported by all browsers, but you can always design CSS to support as many browsers as possible. You can find nice explanation and the overview on different browser support here:

It is very convenient to use CSS Border Radius Generator:

[EDIT]

By the way, in all designs its would be the best to provide a simplified fallback design; for the cases when a Web browser does not support some feature at all, the view should gracefully degrade, still having a decent readable look.
