So I have been struggling with how to make rounded corners for the text areas and such?

 

like in this template

its an image, you will need a image editing program such as Photoshop (there is a free trial at www.adobe.com) but its an expensive program (£300+) but its what most web designers use

For corners such as that most people will use Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro.

 

However you can also use Fireworks...my personal choice for table layouts.

There are plenty of techniques for rounded corners - take your pick:

either wait a few years for all browsers to support cs3 and people to upgrade

 

as above photoshop would work but you can also use illustrator, fireworks, the gimp etc

1) Try RoundedCornr

2) It's possible using jQuery, there's a plugin called Corner

3) In Photoshop you can create your rounded corners, and then save the image and use as a background image.

4) CSS3 supports rounded corners, but you're looking to wait a few years before that becomes mainstream

Thanks everyone, this all helped me out
