Simple, just use FW (or ImageReady) for what they're good for, creating and
exporting your images. Then write your own HTML.
For example, take a look at the CamelBones site in my .sig, using a browser
such as FireFox that allows you to choose one of the alternate stylesheets.
Choose the "Black" style. I created the rounded corners and drop shadows in
ImageReady, then sliced out the corners and tiny repeatable slices for the
drop shadows.
All it really takes is a little bit of planning ahead. When you create your
layout, you need to be looking to see what visual elements can "stretch",
and create a small repeatable slice to use in those areas.
