I see what you mean now. With the way your markup is structured there is no way for the corner plugin to figure out what the right color is for the corners. It walks the ancestor tree looking for an element that has a background color defined. But you should be able to achieve the same look by nesting the divs like this: http://www.malsup.com/jquery/corner/test4.html?v2 Mike
