Customizing Header

[CroonerJE]

Since I am only working with the English language and US Dollars on my website, there really is no need to take up space on the header with these controls.

 

I would like to remove them and create a better graphic header which would be visible across the width of the header.

 

The only thing I want remaining is the "Shopping Cart" X Items" variable.

 

What to do?

Seems like you have found the solution, I don't see the extras in your site header !

Hi Gary,

Well I WAS making great strides... and YES I did manage to remove these fields I didn't need. I made a custom header graphic and everything...

 

But NOW the page layout below the header is stretched to maximum left and right!

I have no idea what has happened! I only edited the header.php - nothing else.

 

I even went back and repasted in the surrounding php coding above and below the TABLE html, in case it was corrupted - no change.

 

Any ideas?????? HELP!

The saga continues..

 

Now I have another mess... I was customizing the header.php last night, making it look nice and removing the "currencies" and "languages" controls which I don't need. I succeeded doing this, but now all the page below is maxxed out to left and right! I didn't touch anything else! Only the header.php

I even went back and REpasted the supporting php coding before and after the <!--- START ---><table></table><!--- END ---> commands, in case something was corrupted. NO CHANGE!!

 

Any ideas? PLEASE HELP!!

 

THANKS EVERYONE!!

 

header.php coding is below...
