The look I am striving for in redesigning the look of our entire site, can be found at: This page was created as a layout tool only using Photoshop and ImageReady.
The actual page (as coded thusfar) can be found at:
My problem is this: I would love to be able to use a simple css border, but the boss doesn't like the squared corners and wants them rounded. The css border would work best, as it would collapse and expand based on content. However, I can't use it as I mentioned, so I've come up with the look and the code to imitate a css border, but with rounded edges. (I'm new to css and am learning as I go along and as a note, have not worked hardly at all using div or span - in case someone wonders why I used tables). Anyway, If you open and shrink the screen width, the table images break apart.
I'm not sure whether there would be a better way to accomplish my task, or if anyone who knows more about css could tell me how to fix the table, so it remains solid, but expands and contracts with the content.
The index.asp page for the temp address contains multiple server side includes to pull in each section of the page. My code for my index.asp page is as follows:
The Main_Content.asp code is where the problem lies. Its code is as follows:
And, just in case you need it, my global.css file is as follows:
Hopefully, I haven't overwhelmed everyone with the issue, but the boss has also told the powers that be, that we will be launching the new look, along with new content, by the end of February. So, it's kind of a rush, as I'm the solitary web programmer. Any help would really be appreciated. Thank you!!!
