Tis easy, just practice. Of course, as I always say, hand code your web pages, much easier to align the tables. Then just make your curves, split them up into different individual pics, and fit them snugly into the tables.

If you do it right, it should all line up _perfectly_. But, practice is what does it.

Alternatively, make your entire site in flash :E

thanks for the reply, but i don't quite understand you. so you have to insert pics with a curve on the edge of them to have it or what?

Hi,
Right. I am not exactly sure what kind of curve you are talking about. This is probably what you are talking about but if it isnt mail me.
Curves on the edge of all tables, kinda like rounded corners: You need to make 4 individual gifs/jpgs of corners. The easiest way to do this is to make one perfectly symetrical one and then rotate and mirror it. Then make a table 3 rows by 3 columns. put your bits in each corner and make the rest of the tables BG colours the same as your bits. The centre table is where you put your stuff!

Hope this has helped.

Tom.

I'm referring to extremely complicated curves, that spread over like 10-12 pics on the page :)

Tables with curved corners are even easier :)

In the long term the best way is to use Fireworks, slice up your image and whack it into dreamweaver..... a very compicated site can be done like this in 1/2 hour. Unfortunately both programs are silly money. But if you get a chance to play with the demos then it is worth a go.
