As of FF3.5, Mozilla still does support percentages in border-radius, but the percentages are always interpreted relative to the outer *width* of the border box, even for the vertical semi-axis of an ellipse. This is so we can continue to get circular arcs for "border-radius: 10%" without messing with the defaulting rules. I'd be happy to change that at least somewhat, but I think "border-radius: 10%" needs to keep doing quarter circles. By the way, I wrote a guide to border-radius for hacks.mozilla.org; it hasn't gone public yet, but a draft is here: http://www.owlfolio.org/DRAFT/border-radius/ I would be glad to take corrections, commentary, and suggestions. zw
