RoundRect

Based on DD_roundies, but totally rearchitected to be less confusing, more
maintainable, and more feature-filled, this library adds support for the CSS3
border-radius property in IE7 and 8, but without ANY configuration required.

Rules are read directly from your stylesheets, so unlike other libraries, you
*do not* need to redefine your border-radius styles within JavaScript. Just
RoundRect.run() and you’ve got rounded rectangles!

Features:

* A svelte 4.9kB once minified + gzipped
* No dependencies on external libraries
* Functions even if you are using an evil library that modifies
  Object.prototype (you know who you are)
* Properly object-oriented; no C masquerading as JavaScript here
* 100% configuration-free border-radius support
* Supports dynamically updating backgrounds and borders, without using polling
* Supports :hover and :focus pseudo-elements (for versions of IE with native
  support for these pseudo-elements)
* Supports input and textarea elements, and even drop-downs in IE8
* Functions properly in IE7 and IE8 strict mode
* (Almost) readable code with (nearly) complete jsdoc documentation
* No memory leaks!

Caveats:

* Only pixel units are supported for padding, border-width, and border-radius.
  Anything else will be assumed to be pixel width, even if it isn’t.
  You’ve been warned.
* Dynamic updates are about as responsive as a rock star in a drug-induced coma
  in IE8; in IE7, more like a 90-year-old missing their hearing aids.
* Sometimes, elements aren’t properly redrawn when a change causes several
  different elements to be restyled simultaneously (like, say, switching tabs.
  What a bunch of crap.)
* hasLayout is required, so it might break your design when rounded elements
  (and their parents) are surprised with the gift of layout
* Mouse events like mouseover, mouseenter, mousemove will start behaving
  erattically when the mouse moves over a rounded element. More specifically,
  hovering over an area of a rounded element that does not contain a child
  element will result in the mouse basically falling through the layer into
  VML’s cold, dead arms. There is a workaround in the code to try to mitigate
  this issue but it does not work 100% of the time.
* Could it support more of CSS3 backgrounds and borders, like, perhaps,
  rgba backgrounds? HECK YES IT COULD, TOTALLY! …but it doesn’t right now.

Usage:

1. Load the script. You should really use conditional comments and only load
   for your lovely IE visitors, but it will work even if you forget.
2. Call RoundRect.run().
3. Have a beer. You did a great job!

Advanced usage:

1. Load the script. You should really use conditional comments and only load
   for your lovely IE visitors, but it will work even if you forget.
2. var roundrect = RoundRect.create(element, dynamic);
3. roundrect.destroy(); // restores the original glint and shine of your html
   // one you decide that this web 2.0 thing kinda sucks and round rectangles
   // are lame and outdated.
   //
   // (in theory.)
   //
   //
   // …
   // (it hasn’t really been tested yet.)
4. Have two beers. You did twice the work, you totally deserve that extra one!

Documentation:

jsdoc in the source code! Go read it!
