Gotta love these columns. :) Upon reading this one, i nearly spat my coffee out when i saw that Merlyn was making those aesthetically pleasing yet aggrevatingly pleading rounded boxes. Recently, my client tasked me with taking someone else's graphic design and translating it into HTML, rounded boxes included. Well, these days i am trying to be more "div taggish", and less reliant upon those old fashioned HTML tables - BUT .... this is one case study where i found trying to create a rounded box container is better suited for those old table tags, AND NOT div tags. I did a lot of Google searching for techniques that used div tags, and the results were always either VERY complicated, or somewhat simple yet completely browser incompliant. I am going to state for the record that i believe table tags are still the best way to created a simple yet elegant rounded box container. I plan on putting my thesis and such down in writing/tutorial (complete with how to create the graphics), but in the meantime, you can see my solution to the problem over at: http://unlocalhost.com/css_box/ just view the source. The beauty of using CSS on empty table cells is that the images will not appear if CSS is turned off. I am sure that you TT folk can see how easy it is to abstract this into a WRAPPER. :) Hope this helps someone, jeffa __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
