Can anyone tell me what the trick is to creating a seamless titlebar/sidebar combination that doesn't break apart and expand when the body text gets too long? I've tried splitting the design into seperate tables, but that still leaves the 1-pixel spacers which I can't seem to get rid of without screwing up the table.

I just can't believe there's no way to do this.

Well, that shows how to encase text in an ever-expanding rounded-corner box. That isn't what I mean.

I want to create a large image consisting of a titlebar area at the top, and menu options down the left side (containing many buttons/slices), and I want to have all those elements lock together and hug the top left corner on the resulting web pages regardless of how long the body text becomes. If I make a large text slice and export the HTML, as soon as my text gets longer than the table height, the buttons down the side start spreading out and breaking the image apart. I want to avoid this. Isn't there a way?

Thanks.

Not entirely sure what you are getting at.

Post up a link to a site that has an example of what you are trying to achieve.
