Looking for a seamless solution to render rounded corners on browsers that do not support CSS3 without the delay typically seen with JQuery plugins.
The use of .htc files with www.css3pie.com seems like the best option so far, but there is still a delay concern. The owner mentioned that using scripts with JQuery could potentially reduce this delay.
Ideally, the solution should support gradients, border-radius, and box-shadow. While css3pie covers most of these requirements, it has issues with box-shadow when the background is transparent.
While I understand that some features may not be compatible with IE6, I am willing to accept that limitation. Hopefully, IE9 will address these issues in the future.
For now, I will continue using css3pie.com despite the delay and lack of box-shadow support in IE. Hopefully, improvements are on the way.
