How did daniweb skin their topics to look like bubbles?

I would have thought it was a mixture of css and javascript. I doubt they are actually images (especially the rounded corners). I am sure cscgal will tell you how to do it.

View the source and css file to better get an idea of how it is done.

There are three ways to do this: with CSS and images, with JavaScript and CSS and images, or with the new version of CSS that isn't widely supported yet.

I go the CSS and images route, mostly because I was having a problem getting the JavaScript method to be as cross-browser compatible as I would have liked.

A google search for [search]rounded corners[/search] has a lot of tutorials that will help you.

or with the new version of CSS that isn't widely supported yet.

This looks very promising and I wish it was supported by all the browsers. Would help take a lot of code of a site like this that uses a lot of rounded corners.

Yeh I've seen the new version of css in action, it does look very promising, Although if your interested in css you may want to read this amusing article, http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1987181,00.asp
