3 images
1) the top bar,
2) the full width of the panel (including shadow)
3) bottom corners

3 divs

<div id="top"></div>
<div id="content">
   content here
</div>
<div id="bottom"></div>

each div would have the same width and height as the image you made for it and apply as background
The content will need padding so nothing bleeds over the border & shadow

Drawback to this method is it can only scale vertically.
So, keep to fixed with layouts.

I know there are many rounded corner plugins, but usually you don't need to use them.

Hi,

I would really like to do as you mention... I have my forms using rounded corners from jquery and it's
super cool.... but these panels I create have shadows on them too...
haven't see any plugin to do that yet with rounded corners and captions.

I have searched the net for solutions and tried 100's of different combinations... any suggestion
what to do to get less code would be super.

    you can accompish this 4 corner box with far less markup, standard
    css with no script

    there's lots of css tutorials on this topic. I'm all for using
    jquery to add creative solutions but sometimes using a bulldozer
    when all that is needed is a shovel is overkill

    for example, wrap your middles around contents and no height
    calculations necessary. Try using every tag available in module to
    apply css for your frame, don't waste outer container.  You'll
    definitely appreciate it when page size increases

    Hi jQuery,

    i'm trying to create a visual frame. My attempt can be seen here:
    http://www.medlemmer.net/test/test_panel_basics.php

    I use jQuery to resize the left and right div to the correct
    height, I can
    see the result is correct.

    my question is why do I get gaps at the bottom... it seems to come
when I put content inside my visual frame? Can someone point it out for me?

    another question is... is there any other method that can make the
    left and right sides get the correct length? or is jquery the
    only way
    to do that?

    regards,
    Peter
