Thank you wayne, yes I understand that. But see above? how the cat strip is a series of 3 images? left side, middle and right? behind that there is no outline of the original cat strip box. When I add the images they are overlayed on top, but the original still comes out behind it...in other words..your corners are beveled, so are mine, but on mine, the rectangular space still shows behind my beveled corners..That's what I'm trying to get rid of. I've changed the cellpadding to 0 and that has helped a little...but the **** corners are still outlined by the border color
