Hello All,

I downloaded a background pattern from deviantart (which is very small but repeats a lot when I make it a background in frontpage). My problem is, I want to make a large white ROUNDED rectangle the main part of the website which lies on top of the pattern (where all the information will be). My problem is, how do I make it so it looks normal? I created the white rectangle in photoshop but when I put it in frontpage (in it's own layer) it doesn't sit right.

Basically I want it to look something like this: http://www.maddogbats.com/

Any ideas?

Thanks!!

Many people use an image for the curved bits, say an image only 5 or 10px high the full width of your rectangle with rounded corners and this sits on top of your rectangle.

You can turn the image upside down and put it below the rectangle for curved bottom corners.

Or make very small rounded corners say 10 x 10px curved in one corner which sit in each corner of your rectangle.

There are also javascript codes to make curved corners without needing separate images.
