Observe the image above. That was taken from Yahoo mail. It appears that it is a Table. ON TOP: One cell for the header, one for the yellow triangle, and one for the white empty space. ON BOTTOM: A big cell spanning 3 collumns with text.<br />
<br />
I, myself, would like to make one of those. But I do not see how it is actually done. If I make text really small or really large, the triangle fits with the header's window. How do I get this effect? Where the triangle does not really apear to be a seperate image? <br />
<br />
Now, what if someone had a realy realy big font? Then it would look like this:<br />

But the wonderful yahoo programmers have found a way around it. I want to do that too. how do I?<!--content-->You need to check the URL of the image, Geocities said it wasnt found!<!--content-->please attach it or upload it to a more bandwidth-friendly server. thanks.<!--content-->I would do it by:<br />
Having 3 pictures, one for the top bit, the header, the triangle and the space. That would go in a top row of the table.<br />
For the second row, and picture, I would use a picture with two side bars which fit the top picture.<br />
The bottom row would just have a picture which finishes the frame thingy off.<br />
if somehow, you understand that, then you should be able to get the effect.<!--content-->Oh Great! Yahoo has a firewall. Well I attached the picture this time. <br />

A message to andy: Sure everything is possible with tons of pictures, but I am trying to reduce my effort, allow people to view words in the size they want, and the loading time of others. I like to use yahoo's aproach in using text in the table header, instead of like <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazon.com">www.amazon.com</a><!-- w --> 's aproach, where they just use pictures for the round table header.<!--content-->Hmm, i tried to do it, but I'm not sure how.<br />

Seriously, if I were you, I would really use images for the header.<br />
<br />
1) You can make it prettier using images (and easier)<br />
2) Making that whole table would take at MOST 2 images (1 for header, other for mail)<br />
<br />
Nah, not really. You better wait for someone smarter to help you! Nope, actually, if you check that code, I'm sure you can cope up with something, just replacing mostly everything
<!--content-->can anyone tell me why Yahoo saw the need to nest tables in that? i haven't tried it, but it seems to me like this would be easy to do. and without having to nest tables!
