How big is your image really suppose to be? Also if trying to use the actual 1x120 then it is best to use that image as a background then to make it strecth the width of the page. Images used as backgrounds are NOT STRETCHED they are just repeatedly repeated until they fill the section. let us know so we can get this fixed for you.

Yeah, you could use an image stilt to repeat background, but if the image they want is actually a Prototype for the site (as a logo or something) then its messed up.

it's supposed to be 900 x120. in mozilla, when i click to view the properties, it says it's 900x120, but in IE, it says 1x120. i DID have a 1x120 black image that i aligned on the left side because my search box and links ended up sitting over the large image (that looks like a sliver in IE) at the top. i used it to push them down below the large image, but i don't see that sliver in my head.tpl code anymore. this is really confusing.

I got it !

Your problem is a missing closed tag in your TD where it says:

<TABLE align=center border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width="100%" height="100%">
  <TR>
    <TD valign=top>
<TABLE align=center border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 class=HeadBox width=100%>  
<TR>
[b]<TD colspan="2" valign="top" align="center"[/b][img]../skin1/images/headbarbed.jpg[/img]<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
    <form method="get" action="../customer/search.php" name=productsearchform>

Notice the bold part, you didnt close your td tag properly before adding the:
[img]../skin1/images/headbarbed.jpg[/img]

Try that, it will probably solve your problem.

[AKR]

hmm, i made it "<TD colspan="2" valign="top" align="center">" but the image still looks the same.

[leon]

You also have a duplicate attribute in your tag, which is invalid for IE, dont know about Netscape:

[img]../skin1/images/headbarbed.jpg[/img]

Take out the width="fixed" and you will probably be ok.

nice! it works! thanks for your help, leon. and thanks to everyone else as well. i really appreciate it.

[leon]

Your welcome, glad I was helpfull this time.

Tip:When you have problems with layouts or crashed images always right click on your browser, and choose view source, that will open Notepad, then save that specific code in an editor like Dreamweaver (my favorite) for example, it will highlight problems in yellow, making it easier to determine the problem (thats what I did).

[AKR]

ah, thanks, i'll keep that in mind.

[leon]

My pleasure.
