Information
I have had many requests for curverd corvers without images that are more than 1 pixel wide. So here is an example of a 3 pixel border with curved corners using just CSS with no images.
With the small addition of a pointer it can be made into a speech bubble of sorts. The only problem with this is that the curves are 'chunky' so colors must be used with care.
Oh, and also IE5.x and IE6 do not understand transparent borders (used in the pointer) so the speech bubble can only be used on a plain background for these browser and it will have a solid color rather than the perfectly formed pointer you will see in Firefox, IE7, Opera etc..

Thanks to a comment by Jeff Corley, IE5.5 and IE6 can now be made to understand transparent borders (well sort of) and in this case the method works.
