Hey John,
Here is a code I use for oval picture frames.
Might work for your situation.
.oval_picture_frame {
background-color: rgb(255,255,255);
margin: 0 auto 5%;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
float: inherit;
-webkit-border-radius: 49%;
-moz-border-radius: 49%;
-khtml-border-radius: 49%;
-o-border-radius: 49%;
border-radius: 49%;
vertical-align: middle;
overflow: hidden;
display: inline-block;
zoom: 1;
}
Works on most browsers I have tested on.
Old IE choked on the apex but you can make a IE fall back if you really want.
Let me know if you run across a browser that chews it up and spits it out.
Best,
Karl DeSaulniers
