Layout table cell formatting issue

[Guest]

After reading about the layout table feature, I decided to give it a whirl
and I'm having one problem.

My page has a background image (scanlines) and then a table in the center of
it with a bg color. I can apply the curved corner to the upper left cell,
but the bg color of the table is still visible outside (ie further up and
left, but still within the actual cell) where the curve graphic is.

I can see the curve created, but it's within the rectangular confines of the
table bg so the effect isn't really a curved corner.

Can anyone help??
TIA

It sounds like you need to get rid of the table background image, or at least
change its corners.

It's a color, not an image. Only solution I think think of is maybe putting
the curved thing in a table that's above the colored table.

Still hoping someone's got a better solution.

OK, sorry. In that case, you need to get rid of the table background color
and (probably) specify background colors for individual pages instead.

Basically, the corner of the rounded rectangle displays a GIF file. The
inside quarter-round portion is colored, and the outside corner is
transparent. So, whatever is behind will show through.
