It should be rounded by default. You have make sure you
_don't_ use CSS on them.

As soon as you apply a border, it'll be square.

It should? Where in the spec is that? Submit buttons in Mozilla
1.6/Win2k have squared corners, while those in Firefox/WinXP have rouned
ones; which browser is in violation?

Sorry, my fault. With the word 'should' I didn't mean 'must'
'ought to' or 'has to'. More in a way of speaking. As in:
Your dad should be done working by now, go ask if he wants a
cup of tea.

I didn't know buttons in Moz on Win2K had square corners.
I answered out of my own experience (with XP), when I used
*{border:0px} in my stylesheet, and all of a sudden my
buttons were square.

Then obviously your experience with computers hasn't been all that
long. It was only Windows XP that introduced the look of rounded
corners on buttons — it's just the system default style. All versions
of Windows prior to XP, since at least Win95 and WinNT4 all had the same
basic button style, with fairly square corners. Win 3.x and earlier had
somewhat rounded corners (very pixelated, just a simple mountain top
corner technique) but IIRC, didn't have a 3D look. I don't know about
other non-MS operating systems, I haven't used them often.

Correct. http://locusmeus.com/started.html ;-)

I did use Win 95, but never paid attention to the looks of
buttons until I made my first form, March of this year.

Win 3.x and earlier had
somewhat rounded corners (very pixelated, just a simple mountain top
corner technique) but IIRC, didn't have a 3D look. I don't know about

Me neither.

Other OSes allow the user to select from a variety of "skins" some

which have square corners on the buttons, others which are round
everywhere, 3D look, flat look, etc.
