Table shape

Question

Hello! I am wondering if there is a way to change a cell, or
tables, shape. I am wanting to change the shape of a cell from a
rectangle to a rectangle with rounded corners. Or if there is
another way to help with this:
The text on my site will be written in a column, and will be
updated regularly so the cell which contains the text will need to
change in length quite often. I would like to place this text on a
background different from the webpages background, so I applied an
image as the background to the cell the text is written in.
The background is a rectangle of color with smooth rounded
edges on all four corners. But if I add more text so that the
column expands then the background will repeat itself and instead
of 4 corners I end up with 6 or more depending on how long the
column is.

Answer 1

You have to use images to do this. Everything on the web is
rectangles with
90 degree angles.
Think of it this way. You have images of each of the 4
corners. You also
have am image of a horizontal line that matches the corners,
and one of a
similar vertical line.
Make a 9-cell table. Put the corner images in each of the 4
corner cells.
Make the middle cells on each side have the corresponding
line image as a
background image. You are DONE! 8)
