:'(

ok so i've created this design for my webiste;

 

and i put it into the header.php file as 2 seperate tables... the top part being the first table and the bottom part being the second. now my problem is that once the image is sliced and put into cells of a table, it doesnt display the last part (bottom half)... i tried placing the bottom in the footer... but the footer seems to be inside the tables and therfore doesnt work.

example is here:

maybe someone knows a better way to accomplish this look?

 

i dont know why i cant figure this out.. its probably something really simple and im just an idiot :blush:

 

thanks so much in advance

 

cheers :)

NOTE:

here's what it looks like in dreamweaver... everythnig is contained in one main table (to set the width size and center align) then there are 2 tables inside, first one containing the top header, and the second one containing the rest... for some reason the bottom doesnt show when its all uploaded... should this be done in another .php file??

 

please help :(

Grant, are you using the Simple Template System to do this? If so, all you would need to do is create a header.php.html template and insert your table in your template.

no i'm using the regular oscommerce header.php (version 2.2)

 

what's Simple Template System? would this be a better system to use? can i still add contributions, etc with it?

 

thanks

Absolutely! The Simple Template System (STS) allows you to design your osCommerce store using templates for a specific page, category, product, etc. It works by using tags to represent the actual PHP script. For example: If you wanted to place a Specials Infobox in the right column, you would just place a $specials tag where you want the infobox to appear in the right column in your template. You can also create templates for your infoboxes, even a template for the product popup image. Your templates can use the latest web technology such as flash, JavaScript, PHP, HTML, etc.

Anyway, here is the link to the STS download page:
