Translucent Border for Dialog

Translucent Border for Dialog


Hey all,
I'm tasked with implementing a design that has translucent borders
around the edge of the dialogs. And I also happen to use jquery-ui for
those dialogs (existing project, new design).
The best way I've seen to do translucent borders is to use a table for
the dialog, put the dialog in the middle of a 9 cell grid, and use the
cells on the edges to hold a semi-transparent PNG.
Would it be at all possible to force jquery-ui to use a table like
this for .ui-dialog container and put my dialog in the middle?
Probably too much to ask, but I thought I'd put it out there. Maybe
someone has a better idea.
