Thanks DigiKev for the reminder of how semantic markup will aide in graceful degradation in this case. I too am - or was, until my recent position - the person who not only designed, but also built the interfaces (HTML/CSS presentation). I'm struggling to get that sort of thing done here as our website is nearly 100% built in a CMS, which requires us to use modules that had been developed long before I arrived.
And, I would agree with Marty that rounded corners are not necessary from an intuitive as well as design standpoint. Sounds like you agree as well, but have been - like me - regularly requested to incorporate such design treatment. I think tab design should blend well with the design perspective of the site, which means that it could be nearly anything. :) Something I just realized yesterday while I was wireframing a version using tabs is that tabs seem great if there is enough content to fill the space. However, some of my content is quite limited and it feels like I'd be forcing the tab pattern onto something that really doesn't warrant it in the first place. -Jennifer -Jennifer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
