Tabs with Round Out Borders

Create borders that bend to the outside at the bottom of each tab

A good-looking tab control usually has one feature that I've always found impossible to reproduce without images: borders that bend to the outside at the bottom of each tab. In this article I would like to show how you can use the CSS :before and :after pseudo elements to create this effect without using images.

 

If you're wondering about browser compatibility, it's exactly as you'd expect: everything but IE.
