Hi Friends,

Moving towards HTML5 and CSS3 standards. HTML5 is the new version in which it incorporates features like video playback and drag-and-drop that have been previously dependent on browser plug-ins such as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, and Google Gears.

Also in CSS3 rounded corners of textbox, highlighting the box likewise, can be done without extra plugins as well as jscripts. And There are many other useful features in it.

So I think there will be many things easy to incorporate in your HTML page without other plugins.

So, what is your opinion there?

Since everyone pretty much has high speed internet now, using a small graphic for rounded borders is not an issue, as are most arguments for pure css in my humble opinion. Your also never going to have as good of a rounded border in css as you would with a graphic done in illustrator.

Regarding HTML5, I dont even know what that is; but flash is king and what all pros use, so I think using other methods will be considered a lesser option.

Don't be so sure about that!

I feel Illustrator is the king for rounded borders, its even better than photoshop. Trick is to paste from illustrator into photoshop - css will never be able to match that; well not for another decade at least.

But I can see how for certain lower end projects css would be useful.

if you want a rounded border i could not imagine using images unless a custom border was required, but if you just want a simple rounded edge for your border definitely use border-radius, so much easier and saves space and wont clutter your server

Flash was maybe king, some years ago.
But the robots are still not able to crawl flash content. Why not?

Because Flash is not king anymore. Most things you could do with Flash only are now easily possible with JS frameworks like jQuery (my favourite library).

HTML5 is still a working progress, same with CSS3. Both are overrated.
