Hey Sylvain,

I can't use the testpage in the image on my blog (the site is still a work in progress and I can't just release the design).
However! Did make a single test page that shows a live example and a composite image of the rendering in all (important) other browsers:
 FF3.6, Safari 4, Chrome 5, Opera 10.5, IE9 PP2, IE8. IE7 and IE6 behave the same as IE8.

All screenshots taken on a windows PC, Mac rendering has been known to vary in this particular case (fe, Chrome still shows jaggy edges on Mac here).

Would you be able to share a link to the page you used for the screenshots at the end of the post ? Thanks !

Hi all,

Just an interesting thing I noticed, but Firefox 3.6 (and apparently Chrome for Windows) make sure the line created by two differently-colored neighbouring borders is anti-aliased. This ensures a nice visual result.

Hit this when I was trying the css triangle technique using triangles which didn't have the regular 90/45/45 degree layout. When straying from this layout, you end up with ugly jaggy edges in most browsers.

Article and a pic of the result in FF vs the rest can be found:

Maybe something to mention in the border rendering standards?
