| Heh. I just posted such a reply to you in the thread about rounded
| corners. Sorry.
if there's no way at all to accomplish it, I guess I do have to stop
wanting that. But if I can get it with a hack, I will. And if that
hack degrades at least gradefully on non-compliant browsers, that is
usually OK. I can get rounded corners with massive tables and it works
even on IE. Or I can get rounded corners with CSS using a four levels
of background layering that doesn't impact the square corners underneath.
There are some other methods which I have not thoroughly studied, yet.

Ouch. Sounds liek a new Q for a new thread.

Not impossible.
