how can you make rounded edges like the <th> or whatever things in this web page

http://www.chami.com

they are blue, and they have rounded edges.

This is an HTML "trick." Basically, you create images that are edged and use them as backgrounds for TDs on the top-left, top-right, bottom-left, and bottom-right edges of the TABLE.

but it doesn't show up as an image, and how should you do a layout? table or dir?

AND

how do you write the code for the background, Javascript? html?

[Jona]

That is because it's using the BACKGROUND attribute of the TD cell. View the source code, and you'll see something like this in the top-left one:


<TD background="top-left_image.gif">

thanks, what kind of editor would do this kind of background?

[Jona]

You could use Microsoft Paint, or Adobe Photoshop (www.adobe.com/products/photoshop), or Jasc Paint Shop Pro (www.jasc.com), or Macromedia FireWorks (http://www.macromedia.com/software/fireworks/).

doesn't the microsoft paint thing show up rigid?

[Jona]

Yup, it does, usually. Unless you're really good at pixel-editing. :p
Oh, there's also, for free, The GIMP (www.gimp.org), which is a very powerful program (but none of the programs mentioned so far match Photoshop).
