jQuery DivCorners: create image corners & border layouts

What is DivCorners?

• This plugin aims to create an easy way to add border layouts to screen content.
  • This can be rounded corners, simple borders, faded edges, box layouts, and more.
  • Currently this is achieved with images. In the future, I'll include functions to create simple layouts without images.
• It includes three functions that can be called after jquery.js and jquery.divcorners.js are loaded.
  • Use $(selector).dcCreate(object [, boolean]) to create an instances of a layout.
  • Use $(selector).dcResize([boolean]) to resize instances of a layout.
  • Use $(selector).dcClear([boolean]) to remove instances of a layout.
• DivCorners is comprised of jquery.divcorners.js and jquery.divcorners.css, both of which must be linked for desired results.

Why DivCorners?

This extension was created to make life easier. DivCorners helps create a desired effect in more than half the time, and eliminates most browser issues. The extension even fixes PNGs in IE6.
