How do you make a curved table such as the one at where the menu (toolbar) curves?

How do you know whne the picture size is just right?

Those curves are actually small GIF images within the table. In cases like this the table is given the following characteristics so that the individual cells do not have any space inbetween them and they appear seemless.

<TABLE border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;>

As for your picture question I'm not sure what you mean. Please elaborate.

The picture question was that when making the gif or jpg to fit inside of the table how do you know when the size is just right or do you just make it the table size?

The easiest way to create tables like this is to layout everything in a program such as Fireworks or Photoshop. You can then let the program slice it up for you, or better still insert your own slices over the relevant &quot;curves&quot;, export them as gifs, and reinsert them into a table that you create. The size of the image will dictate the size of the table cell (of course you can control the size of the image as well).

Remember if the image isn't the perfect fit for the cell use the td align and valign attributes

Good luck [sig][/sig]
