Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to get a rounded
rectangular table onto a page in html format?

If I do a gif or jpg in Photoshop then the text
is lousy plus it takes a long time to load.

I hand code my html, is that the problem? Is that
maybe a function of some software, like
Dreamweaver?

I have the url of an example of what I'm talking
about but it's not mine, so I don't know if it's alright
to post it. But if it is okay, I'll be happy to provide it...

Thanks!

Kelly

you can do that by making a table with 3 rows and three columns.

the top and bottom rows are very thin, as are the left and right-most columns.

the four cells on the corners are filled with quarter-round corner images.

The other four cells on the outside edges are straight -- but they might optimally be made expandable by making them background images instead of ordinary image.

The center cell of course is filled with ordinary text.

Thank you!

I did a rudimentary version of that with big, fat
corners to start with, but now I have a stupid question.

Sometimes I can get rid of the white space between
cells and sometimes not. I thought it was about
cellspacing=0 but that's not working.

Can someone tell me what I'm missing?

Thx,

Kelly

Duh, I just figured out that it's cellpadding...

Thx again for the earlier reply, Bruce, that
was so helpful...
