If you're talking about curves as defined by CSS, then ideally Gecko and Webkit should render them pixel-perfect. If they don't, it's a bug and the developers should get to it eventually. I think that rendering is very close in that regard these days.

Opera 9.62

Safari 3.2

Chrome 1.0

Firefox 3.0


Firefox is the only one that displays the nice curvy borders.

Are curves part of the standard yet? If I remember correctly, it's part of CSS3, which is still in development.

I don't think it is (I mean, you do have to use like -moz-border-radius or something, and I'd think the -moz is mozilla?), which is why PirateHead had me a little confused.

I wish they would get on with css3 already though ;p

It is part of a "standard", but until Microsoft implements the "standard" it doesn't really mean much. That's why it is important to support groups which publish documentation about best practices and forward-looking web software.

So, I'd say at this point that anybody who doesn't have curvy borders, or any element of CSS3, has a bug -- on the other hand, while all browsers may implement that set of features eventually, there is no good timeframe for us to use. It looks unlikely that IE8 will have those features, so perhaps IE9 or IE10.

I think the problem here is that curvy borders are not part of a standard, just something mozilla thought would look good, and subsequently whispered into the w3c's ear about but hasn't yet be implemented.

Anyway, whatever it is, I'll be sticking with Firefox ^_^

That is a good thing that they did then because I prefer not to have to hack around to do stuff like that.
