CSS3 can do it with border-shadow, but for the moment you have to use images.

trans_lft_rgt.pngtranscorner.pngtrans_top_bottom.pngdownload above images.insert css code into page or external stylesheet and link to that style sheet.<style type="text/css">.t_lc { width: 25px; height: 25px; background:url(transcorner.png) top left no-repeat; } .top { height: 25px; background:url(trans_top_bottom.png) top center repeat-x;} .t_rc { width: 25px; height: 25px; background:url(transcorner.png) top right no-repeat;} .left {width: 25px; background:url(trans_lft_rgt.png) top left repeat-y; } .right{width: 25px; background:url(trans_lft_rgt.png) top right repeat-y; } .b_rc { width: 25px; height: 25px; background:url(transcorner.png) bottom right no-repeat;}.bottom { height: 25px; background:url(trans_top_bottom.png) bottom center repeat-x;} .b_lc { width: 25px; height: 25px; background:url(transcorner.png) bottom left no-repeat; } .border_table { border-collapse:collapse;}</style>insert this code into html document<table class="border_table" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="t_lc"> </td> <td class="top"> </td> <td class="t_rc"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="left"> </td><td>ENTER your TABLE HERE</td> <td class="right"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="b_lc"> </td> <td class="bottom"> </td> <td class="b_rc"> </td> </tr></table>I know tables are sssssssssooooooo bbbbbbaaaaaaaad, and it should be done using divs etc, so stop your frantic typing to point this out to me, and let me finish.But you really should not use tables, unless it is to show tabular data, in a row-and-column format.

There are few ways of producing this effect, the main one is to have top, and bottom rows with background images with rounded corners, then use a repeating background image for the middle/content area. One problem you will have, if you use transparent png image in IE6, is that it won't display it correctly as a transparent, unless a iepngfix (google) is used.

and even that is limited if certain positioning is used on those images. it does work well mostly, but won't validate (Strict anyway...).
