Guest Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Hello can anyone help please? I want to add my own header to my site, but I can't find what width I need to make the new header. The new header I uploaded was 780 wide, but the old headers background colour, ie black, is showing at the ends of my new header. I need to increase the width of my new header, but don't know where to look to find the size of my existing header, so that I can make my new header the same width. Can anyone help please? Thanks in advance. Regards Tony Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the image size in pixels. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

My existing header is 780x90, and on closer inspection, does not fill the full page width on my site, ie www.dealsonline4u.com. The background colour on my my header is very close to the #ffffff black on my site, so it looks if my existing header does fill the whole page width. The new header I want to use is a different colour to the site #ffffff. Is there another way I can find out what size to make my new header, so that it fills the whole page width of my site? If you have time to reply, I would appreciate it. Thanks again. Regards Tony Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Unless you make your site a fixed width via your stylesheet, it won't fill the header on everyone's PC.

I now understand. I am new to all this and it does seem very confusing. Thanks again. Regards Tony Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 If you need some help with that, there are contributions for this type of modification. I looked at this one: Fixed Width Site with CSS It's easy to install, and I'm fairly certain I've seen it in the source code of many osC sites I've looked at.
