Howdy, I need to know how to make the buttons I insert appear rectangular
with rounded edges. Any help anyone can offer would be appreciated. I have a
subscription to an online tutorial, but I don't even know how to ask it to
teach me what I need to know. Please help, It has been a long, frusterating
day trying to give my marketing director what she wants. Any guidence would be
appreciated. -nicki

Rounded edges/corners is done with a graphics program like Photoshop or
Fireworks. Dreamweaver does not do this. What graphics program do you have
access to?

As Michael says, the easiest way of doing this is creating the button with
rounded corners in Photoshop or similar graphics application.

But a client of mine wanted to upload images without having to keep rounding
the corners, so I created an image containing a chromakey coloured rectangle
with rounded corners, I used the same background colour as the website
background, then saved the image as a transparent gif, applying the
transparency to the rectangle colour.

I then used the background-image property to stack the image with the
transparency OVER the top of the image that I want to have rounded corners:

<img src="images/transparent_bkgrnd.gif" width="260" height="194"
style="background-image:url(images/pretty_picture.jpg)" alt="" />

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Nick

Thank you so much!:smile;

Thank you so much! I have Photoshop and Indesign. I'll build the images and insert them.
