Re: s:roundedDiv not fully rendered in IE6 and IE7

One other enhancement that would be great to have is the 
ability to have the background filled with a gradient as 
opposed to a solid color.....

This is why I want to leverage Trinidad's skins. CSS is 
interpreted on
the client, but the images are generated on the server. The 
image URLs
have the info in the query string though, so it would be 
possible to
alter them on the client, but then JS would be required and 
these
properties would have to be stored somewhere (some random CSS 
style
class applied to a dummy element or stripped from the IMG 
tags). A
much more elegant solution would be to use Trinidad skin 
properties to
set the colors so that they are not in the view but the skin 
CSS.

Yes, indeed, I am talking about the foreground.  Sorry, I got 
confused as in my case the forgroundColor of the s:roundedDiv 
is in effect, providing the backround to my other content.  
Sorry for the confusion.

Are you tlaking about the foreground color?  The background 
color is
the outer color of the corners, the foreground is the color of 
inside
of the corners and the center.

I'd like to be able to specify the backgroundColor (persay), 
but have it actually be a generated gradient pattern instead of 
a solid color.  This would just provide a flexible way of 
providing some 'effect' to the area you are enclosing in the 
roundedDiv.

---------Original Message---------

I am not sure why that would be of any value. If you do not set 
a
background color, it uses a transparent color.
