For a case like yours with a fixed width and (preferably) a fluid
height, one of the most straightforward rounded corner methods is to use
2 background-images - one for the top and one for the rest.

I actually included this method in my first response, but it didn't come
through properly since I didn't prepare both images :-)

Here's a slightly better prepared version...

CSS:

Images:

...so you can see this simple method in action.

Needless to say it can be done with only one, large, image. A google
will let you find lots of variants that achieve the rounded corner
effect with one, two or four images, and the fewer images the better -
in most cases.

That sounds like an ordinary journey from print to web design. The
"paper" is flexible on the web.
