how to create macromedia's curved corners

[mkyb14]

after googling this slick idea, there are a bunch of websites that go various
ways in creating the curved corners. most describe using tables to create the
cells for the corners and then the center for the information. is there
another way that's more concise, or effecient than creating numerous tables?
div tags or something? if so do you know of a good tutorial for this?

looking at macromedia's website and viewing the source doens't get me far
seeing as i can't figure out which .css file they are calling for "pod" which i
believe is the content for the tables.

Anyone who has done this or knows how to do this, help would be much
appreciated!

The corners are small images, positioned using CSS. You can see how they do
this up close by using FILE | New | Page Designs (CSS) > any of the Halo
layouts.

Take a look at the images called "tl" and "tr", which are positioned at the
corners of the pagecell1 div to form the corners.

/***********************************************/
/* Layout Divs */
/***********************************************/
#pagecell1{
position:absolute;
top: 112px;
left: 2%;
right: 2%;
width:95.6%;
background-color: #ffffff;
}

#tl {
position:absolute;
top: -1px;
left: -1px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
z-index: 100;
}

#tr {
position:absolute;
top: -1px;
right: -1px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
z-index: 100;
}

yea i know that :) but i'm needing to know how they made the images so smooth.
photoshop and fireworks isn't making them as smooth. i take it they used
fireworks!

also within dreamweaver i don't have any halo layouts...? is that in mx 2004
and not the previous versions?

I would hope so. Why not post in the FW forum and ask about smooth radius
curves?

That's right. Only MX2004....
