If you’re willing to keep the rounded corner effect only for the two
classes of browser that currently understand that portion of CSS3, you
can use my CSS3 Corners Action instead of the built-in Freeway stuff
to round the corners.
When you do that, you’ll be able to let Freeway set a single, non-
tiling image for the object background using the background segment of
the Inspector.
Only WebKit (Safari, MobileSafari, Android, Chrome, and a host of
minor browsers with far less market penetration) and Firefox 3 or
better (are there any Gecko-based non-Firefox browsers?) will see the
corners as rounded. IE and chums will resolutely leave them square.
Whether or not this is a big deal to you depends on the rest of your
design, and whether you’ve shown the rounded corners to your clients
yet. If they haven’t seen them, then you can usually get away with
this because they won’t know any better. When they finally see the
site in a modern browser, they’ll congratulate you for making an
iPhone-optimized site or similar nonsense…

I’ve got an html item with a rounded corner effect applied to it, to

The image stops right where the rounded corners begin. Coincidence?
Are the corners somehow blocking out the image?
Also related, that background image seems to be tiled by default,
and (I think because it’s inline) I don’t have the tiling options
available to me. I assume this is due to an html limitation, as
there’s no problem “untiling” an image placed into a freestanding
html item. Does anyone know of any workarounds for this? Thanks!
