I am making a webpage and instead of making pointed corner quadrilateral tables, i want to modify it to round edged cornered tables but i don't know how. i hope someone understands my problem description, the HTML table i want to look like is similar to common websites where they put their links, I'm using CSS, is their a property that i could change to be able to accomplish it?
You will need an image to create the effect of rounded corners. It will be easier to create a fixed width table, then you can create an image for the top of the table and the bottom.
The image will look like the tab on a manila folder, you can use colors to set off the foreground and background, or you can create a simple rounded outline.
Your table will have at least three rows, the top row will have the first image, the middle row will have your content, and the bottom row will have a mirror of the image in the top row (so this will be a second image file, simply rotated 180 degrees). You will need to take care to set your cells pacing and cellpadding so that there is no gap. Otherwise you will have corners, but they will not look contiguous.
You can also create this effect using CSS and divs. Create one div with a background image set to no-repeat, center and vertically aligned to the top. You will then need to create another div that will go inside the first. This second div will have the bottom image and you simply reverse the alignment (again, this is a second image).
As you have guessed by now, this is a fairly ugly way to get a simple effect, welcome to the wonderful world of web design.
