Simple layout #34

In this example I have applied a couple of corners to the background. I have then added text colours which would contrast with both foreground and background colours.

See demo.

Four cornered web page

How do you add four different backgrounds as corners to your web page?
The answer is below. It even work in IE. You will have to create your own corner images.

See demo.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>4 corners</title>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/reset.css" />
<style>
#topLeft, #topRight, #bottomLeft, #bottomRight
{
position:absolute;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
#topLeft
{
background:url(topLeftCorner.png) no-repeat left top;
z-index:-10;
}
#topRight
{
background:url(topRightCorner.png) no-repeat right top;
z-index:-9;
}
#bottomLeft
{
background:url(bottomLeftCorner.png) no-repeat left bottom;
z-index:-8;
}
#bottomRight
{
background:url(bottomRightCorner.png) no-repeat right bottom;
z-index:-7;
}
#mainContent, h1
{
padding:2em;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<section id="topLeft"></section>
<section id="topRight"></section>
<section id="bottomLeft"></section>
<section id="bottomRight"></section>
<section id="mainContent">
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
</section>
</body>

Using jQuery corners and simple grids to begin interesting layouts

Here, I have taken techniques from 2 of my previous posts to create a layout. It doesn't look great, but you should be able to see the potential. I have once again, used the jQuery rounded corners plugin at http://jquery.malsup.com/corner/

See demo.

Copy and paste the code into a HTML file...

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Simple Layout #14</title>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<style type="text/css">
*
{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
body
{
margin:0 auto;
width:800px;
margin-top:100px;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
.twoCol
{
float:left;
width:398px;
}
.boundry
{
height:100px;
}
.content
{
height:200px;
}
.left
{
background:#FF9200;
}
.right
{
background:#000000;
}
.first
{
margin-left:0;
clear:left;
}
h1, p
{
padding-left:20px;
padding-right:20px;
}
h1
{
font-size:5em;
}
</style>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script>
google.load("jquery", "1");
google.load("jqueryui", "1");
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://github.com/malsup/corner/raw/master/jquery.corner.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('#tl').corner('cc:#FF9200 tl 100px');
$('#br').corner('cc:#000000 br 100px');
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="left twoCol first boundry"></div><div id="tl" class="right twoCol boundry"></div>
<div class="left twoCol first content">
<h1>This is my title</h1>
</div>
<div class="right twoCol content">
<p>Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Vestibulum tortor quam, feugiat vitae, ultricies eget, tempor sit amet, ante. Donec eu libero sit amet quam egestas semper. Aenean ultricies mi vitae est. Mauris placerat eleifend leo.</p>
</div>
<div id="br" class="left twoCol first boundry"></div><div class="right twoCol boundry"></div>
</body>
</html>

jQuery rounded corners

Until recently I had been using CSS3 Pie from http://css3pie.com/ to add such things as rounded corners and drop shadows to elements of my pages. I was adding some rounded corners today to boxes on a website. I checked that they would be working in IE and D'oh! No rounded corners. So, I went in search of something which would work and after several tests of different hacks, plugins and scripts, I finally found this one at http://jquery.malsup.com/corner/ which works very well, so I'm sticking with it for now....

See demo.

Below is an example of how to use it.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>jQuery Corners</title>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
font-family:Sans-serif;
}
.myBox
{
background:#FF0000;
width:200px;
margin:10px;
padding:10px;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
</style>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script>
google.load("jquery", "1");
google.load("jqueryui", "1");
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://github.com/malsup/corner/raw/master/jquery.corner.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('.myBox').corner();
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="myBox">
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
