CSS & Round Corners: Making Accessible Menu Tabs

By Trenton Moss
2004-06-27


Adding the left corner

We need to make a small image with the same colour: - here's one I made earlier. Let's call this image "left-tab.gif" and place it into the background of this link:
a
{
color: #000;
background: #fb0 url("left-tab.gif") left top no-repeat;
text-decoration: none
}

This new command says that the background image should be "left-tab.gif", the image should be on the left, at the top, and it shouldn't be repeated - kind of obvious really. The result?



We're getting there, but we need to move that text over a bit. It's pretty simple to do with a bit of padding:
a
{
color: #000;
background: #fb0 url("left-tab.gif") left top no-repeat;
text-decoration: none;
padding-left: 10px
}
