It wasn't too long ago when the only real way to get nice, rounded corners onto a webpage was through the use of images. This is ridiculous if you think about it because it should be very easy for a browser to render rounded corners itself. Today, all good browsers come with a built-in ability to control the look and feel of corners.

Before we begin its worth noting that good web design avoids making use of tables (unless you are actually presenting a table) and instead uses the far more powerful and dynamic <div> tags. If you want to follow along here, make sure your HTML is DIV based first.
