Different headers for different pages? Is it possible?

That is something that Smart Backgrounds in Free Addons would be good for. If the banner is a background for an area, it will work directly; if you want to switch foreground images, there is a simple coding method described in the readme.

Someone saw my currently draft animated header and liked it. One thing she asked is whether it was possible to have those animated images clickable in case a customer would see one product displayed and wanted to go to that particular product. I think that would be great if it is feasible but i am not setting my hopes too high on that one. But still, i am curious to know whether it can be done, in any way.

My guess would be that an animated gif cannot have multiple links for different frames, but I don't know for sure. Dynamic Drive's Ultimate Fade-in Slideshow (javascript) does have that ability, and others likely do as well.

Wow.... this is promising!!!

Now, since i am still going really step by step, i would need your help in figuring out a few (probably) simple things:

- which file should i edit to wrap around the gif code? the css file? or another one?
- what file formats can be used for the background-image in the logowrapper? That Dynamic Slideshow looks exactly like what i would dream of, but does it take that output file in there?
- finally, is it possible to have two separate "images" in the header so i can animate and link only one part while keeping the other static and unlinked?

If i can get this to work, it would be soooooooooooooo great, but as i said, i need your guidance, step by step probably.
Thanks.

For the header, you would edit /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_header.php.

The fade-in slideshow is a whole different animal, and you should read the recent threads about using it.

I have just been helping someone with multiple header images, so you can look at my recent posts to see how to do that.

Thank you very very much. Considering various factors, i think i will focus on the animated display on the main page so i can have larger area to work with. However, i could not have done that without your help and your recommandations. Thanks!

Any suggestion where or how i should incorporate code to have that fade-in slideshow correctly on my main page? I tried through the Define page Editor but although i can insert it as an image (entering the path to the htm file, and SEEING it in the preview), i only see a red X in the window and on the actual page. I am probably missing something but what?

Thank you for your patience.
