I think the OP was looking for a CSS or similar method of creating an
element that has curved edges.

SVG is loaded as a totally separate object and can't be combined with
HTML objects, say to put curved corners on a rectangular DIV with a
border.

There is very little support for SVG in general, Adobe's viewer works
only in IE and Netscape 4. The Mozilla SVG Project has quite a way to
go, I wouldn't recommend them at all for general web users.

If you want to draw graphics using JavaScript in a reasonably
browser-neutral fashion, try:

However, this requires significant CPU resources but could possibly be
used to create rounded corners on a rectangular div. Run the "prop"
demo and watch your CPU usage rocket to 100%.

Again, a useful novelty but certainly not for use on your home page!

The easiest way to create a curved look is to use background images added
with CSS. I think it would be impossible to create an ellipse as it's a
continuous curve, but rounded corners are simple.
