Creating a info box under header_bg.jpg

[HeyIts007]

Is it possible to create an info box under header_bg.jpg on the main page ? I want a one line or one row box that's as wide as the page, located just under the main page header image.
If this is possible, how would I achive this ? i.e. what files do I need to edit and what do I need to enter in them ?

I'm thinking stylesheet.css and possibly a few other php files ? i.e. the main page display script ?

You could open tpl_header.php and insert the red part:

<!--eof-header logo and navigation display-->

<div id="newbox"> This is some sort of text i want to put just under the header image.</div>

<!--bof-optional categories tabs navigation display-->

then style #newbox in the stylesheet.

This assumes you have the navCatTabs and the EZ page header menu turned off. If one or both of those are present, you may need to place the red part somewhere else in the same file.

Ahh, thanks for that advice. I will give it a try and let you know how it goes.

The top code worked ok in tpl_header.php

However the #newbox code in stylesheet.css seems to be missing information to create the box. Any ideas ? i.e. what code actually creates the box ?

You have to add that from scratch. The div will be there occupying the desired space, but you need to tell it to have a different background or border or whatever before it will look like a box. You can take examples of borders and backgrounds from other stylesheet rules and tweak them as desired.

Can you show a CSS example thanks ? i.e. for the #newbox entry.

#newbox {border: 1px solid #aabbdd; background: #eeeeee;}

Cool. Thanks for that.
