Header image Scaling issue

[kobra]

A static image will never scale properly. there are several methods to create a "fluid" header but retaining the exact look as you have now would be difficult.

If you think that the majority of your customers will be at a resoultion of 800 or higher, then your could separate some of the parts of your header. Like take the title out and make it a logo or sales message. make a left image and a right image with the center part just a color and use the css sliding window trick(see the future zen template 2.0 for an example of this). Or you could redesign the head image to allow a trailling repeating image that would fill out another resolution.

Bottomline, create for the lowest res that is prvalent and make fluid for the others.

Thanks Again for the fast reply!

I think that I am going to just use a smaller image and center the image on a background color so that there is an apperance of scaling.

I really like your trailing repeating image idea....might try to work that....

thanks

This would also work...

Thanks for all of you help.

I guess in this case the fastest way is the best, but I am gonna try that trailing repeating images idea on my next project......which will be entirely too soon.....man, I am a Cisco guy.......what am I doing here? LOL
