Fancy Tables and Borders

[Raja]

My pages have a lot of tables. I have seen a lot of web sites that have
tables with rounded corners. i want to do the same on some of my tables
using Frontpage 2002. Anyone know how its done?

 

[Mike Mueller]

Most sites with rounded corners on the tables are using gif
images of the corners.

FP2003 has a built in feature to do this.

With 2002 you'd use a image editor to create a big box with rounded corners,
then slice the image and use the four corner slices in a table in FP.

www.amazon.com, the blue coloured table on the left has rounded corners on
the top. They're not using gif. How do they do it?

Yes they are:

They are using .gifs

Yes, they are.

Consider these two images -

and

http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/nav2/images/skins/teal/tabs-left-off.gif

 

[Murray]

Check those images! They are not the ones for the tab corners.... 8)

 

[Ronx]

OP said "blue coloured table on the left"... To my mind, the tabs are
on the top.
In any case, all the rounded corners on the page are done with gifs.

 

[Murray]

Look at the images. They are virtually invisible. And they are EYEBROW
images.

The tab corners are the ones I posted! 8)

 

[Raja]

I have FP 2002. Is it not possible to do it without using gif's on FP 2002?

 

[Murray]

No.

[Rob Giordano \(Crash\)]

In 2003 it's still using gif's ain't it? I've only briefly explored that
part of 2003.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Yes.

i was told that with FP 2003 that it can be done without using GIF. I know
have FP 2003, bought it yesterday. please dont tell me it cant be done
without using GIF. Someone.... please show me how its done using FP2003.

 

[Murray]

It can be done with CSS, but it's not worth the trouble, since it is not
well supported. What's your reason for not using the most reliable method?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

FP will create the GIF image for you.
