    Hi All,

    I have just started working with CSS. Is it possible to create a thin black line that should run straight along the bottom of the links and then should curve up along the left.

    I would appreciate if someone please give me pointers to the above problem. Thanks in advance.

    Best Regards,
    Inderpal Singh

    The line itself isn't a problem, but what do you mean by it "curving up" ? :)

    Yeah I know line isn't a problem but what I want is where the link text ends, the line curve up along the left . I hope that clears....

    I'm not sure if there is a quick way to do this.

    FIDDLY WAY
    I've never tried this myself but you could try creating a curved white DIV inside a curved black DIV... the white one being 1x1px smaller and having Left and Bottom margins of 1px. Does that make sense?
    To make the curved boxes visit:-

    Good example of curved DIV inside another curved DIV (but they're centered:- http://www.html.it/articoli/niftycube/nifty11.html

    THE EASIER WAY
    Depending on how you are displaying the links (div, p or lists) on the style that surrounds each the links you need to create a border-bottom and have a background image (a black curve) positioned bottom left .

    If i have time, i'll try and create an example for you.

    I would try cleverly positioning a background image that mocks the bottom border, but has the decor at the end.
