What you will probably need to do is to make the stripes on the top and side
out of <td>s. Using 1px transparent gifs to hold open the <td> which then
have background colors set to match the rest of the design. There are lots
of hurdles along the way to getting this to work but it can definitely be
done.

You may want to think about ditching those shadows, though someone with a
robust knowledge of CSS positioning could probably help you out there.
