Rounded table corners CSS only

The selected answer is terrible. I would implement this by targeting the corner table cells and applying the corresponding border radius.

To get the top corners, set the border radius on the first and last of type of the th elements, then finish by setting the border radius on the last and first of td type on the last of type tr to get the bottom corners.

th:first-of-type {
  border-top-left-radius: 10px;
}
th:last-of-type {
  border-top-right-radius: 10px;
}
tr:last-of-type td:first-of-type {
  border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;
}
tr:last-of-type td:last-of-type {
  border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
}

For me, the Twitter Bootstrap Solution looks good. It excludes IE < 9 (no round corners in IE 8 and lower), but that's O.K. I think, if you develop prospective Web-Apps.

CSS/HTML:

table { 
    border: 1px solid #ddd;
    border-collapse: separate;
    border-left: 0;
    border-radius: 4px;
    border-spacing: 0px;
}
thead {
    display: table-header-group;
    vertical-align: middle;
    border-color: inherit;
    border-collapse: separate;
}
tr {
    display: table-row;
    vertical-align: inherit;
    border-color: inherit;
}
th, td {
    padding: 5px 4px 6px 4px; 
    text-align: left;
    vertical-align: top;
    border-left: 1px solid #ddd;    
}
td {
    border-top: 1px solid #ddd;    
}
thead:first-child tr:first-child th:first-child, tbody:first-child tr:first-child td:first-child {
    border-radius: 4px 0 0 0;
}
thead:last-child tr:last-child th:first-child, tbody:last-child tr:last-child td:first-child {
    border-radius: 0 0 0 4px;
}
<table>
  <thead>
    <tr><th>xxx</th><th>xxx</th><th>xxx</th></tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr><td>xxx</td><td>xxx</td><td>xxx</td></tr>
    <tr><td>xxx</td><td>xxx</td><td>xxx</td></tr>
    <tr><td>xxx</td><td>xxx</td><td>xxx</td></tr>
    <tr><td>xxx</td><td>xxx</td><td>xxx</td></tr>
    <tr><td>xxx</td><td>xxx</td><td>xxx</td></tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

You can play with that here (on jsFiddle)


Seems to work fine in FF and Chrome (haven't tested any others) with separate borders: http://jsfiddle.net/7veZQ/3/

Edit: Here's a relatively clean implementation of your sketch:

table {
    border-collapse:separate;
    border:solid black 1px;
    border-radius:6px;
}

td, th {
    border-left:solid black 1px;
    border-top:solid black 1px;
}

th {
    background-color: blue;
    border-top: none;
}

td:first-child, th:first-child {
     border-left: none;
}
<table>
    <thead>
    <tr>
        <th>blah</th>
        <th>fwee</th>
        <th>spoon</th>
    </tr>
    </thead>
    <tr>
        <td>blah</td>
        <td>fwee</td>
        <td>spoon</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>blah</td>
        <td>fwee</td>
        <td>spoon</td>
    </tr>
</table>
