Header here? Nope Header gone?

[Spreebot]

I can't seem to keep my header...it's there sometimes and not other. I can see it most of the time in google chrome and most likely not in IE. What's going on?

Any other suggestions welcome...like how to remain simple but make my services page a little more interesting? Or if you see my header is it too busy? How do I get rid of that black edge at the top?

Spreebot,

Try the above but using the original sized image and not the large version.

ie. background: url(http://nicolemphoto.smugmug.com/photos/497671962_ngeBV-O.png)no-repeat; (http://nicolemphoto.smugmug.com/photos/497671962_ngeBV-O.png%29no-repeat;)

You've currently got 497671962_ngeBV-L.png in your CSS and above and I'm pretty sure it needs to be the original size.. assuming you have got the correct image link?

As a sidenote, I'm not seeing any banner at the moment in FF3, just black with the navbar..

Thank you so much for your advice, I appreciate the time it took you to check on me...but I have tried changing the "L" to "O" and still, I see it in g-chrome, but not in IE...I went to a friend's house this evening and had her load it, and still, I lose.:scratch

Can you provide a direct link to the gallery where you store this image. :ear

Try this for your Banner rule...is this the right image?...The link you provided looks like you might have recently moved the image??...but give this a shot, not sure where you wanted it positioned:


/*=====Banner=====*/
#my_banner
{width: 700px;
height: 100px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(/photos/514099485_pBjnF-L.png) no-repeat;
_background: none;
_filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaIma geLoader
(enabled=true,sizingmethod=image,src='/photos/514099485_pBjnF-L.png');}

[Spreebot]

that's my backup banner...really don't like it, but at least I have something there. Thank you.

The originally link IS the image I want...and I haven't moved it. I'm really confused on what's going on here. I "unhid" the image, maybe that will help you help me? Thanks again, really!

Dont hide the image, just keep it in an unlisted gallery :thumb, so try this, I added some positioning, to move it on the left side of the screen :ear


/*=====Banner=====*/
#my_banner
{width: 700px;
height: 200px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(/photos/497671962_ngeBV-O.png) no-repeat;
_background: none;
_filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaIma geLoader
(enabled=true,sizingmethod=image,src='/photos/497671962_ngeBV-O.png');}

#my_banner
{position:relative;
right:280px}

oh gosh, I swear I checked and unchecked that box 1billion times last night and it wasn't making a difference...but it is now and THAT'S what matters!! Thanks so much!

any idea on how to get that 5px-ish worth of black area at the top to disappear, I need all the room I can get to bump my slideshow up enough to see it all without scrolling(and its ugly)

Try this:


#my_banner
{margin-top:-10px;}

[Spreebot]

seriously?!? I think I love you! :lust I didn't know you could use negative values...gosh, all the things I've learned! I'm not worthy! :bow

thanks again!

Just dont go negative crazy...with all the different browser around, they sure dont all read the negative margins the same, you should be ok withis one though.

Try adding this red line to your slide show code to make all your images align on the top, also if you put all landscape images, of all the same size, you could adjust your bio-box height, to make your homepage more compressed and no scroll bar:



<script>
var ssConfig = {
AlbumID: '7530217',
newWindow: 'false',
transparent: 'true',
splash: 'http://www.smugmug.com/img/ria/ShizamSlides/smugmug_black.png',
showLogo: 'false',
clickUrl: 'http://www.smugmug.com',
showThumbs: 'false',
showButtons: 'true',
crossFadeSpeed: '350',
imgAlign: 'top',
borderThickness: '0',
borderColor: '666666'


};

SM.flash.insertSlideshow(600, 600, ssConfig, 'transparent');
</script>
