I'm wondering if anyone can offer a suggestion for a way to make horizontally scaling (liquid?) header that starts at fixed left position and scales with the width of the browser. The caveat is I need to cram this into a hosting company's HTML, essentially overriding their layout, and I have little control over where I can place my code.
I'm using the generic term "header" because this object could either be a DIV, or a table, or whatever works. The hosting company has a dingbat image that is part of their CSS page description, and I'm trying to overlay their image with a header region of my own. Applying a negative left-margin style to a table kind of works, but then the overall width of the header is shortened by the negative margin dimension. Here's a screenshot: <http://www.tactilemedia.com/test/header_capture.jpg>
This is a favor for friend who has a bare bones hosting plan which forces you to use the hosting company's crippled on-line layout tools. If I had access to the actual FTP server and could override their page templates, I could change this easily, but I'm at the mercy of the available tools and trying to do things that the tools aren't designed to handle.
Thanks for any suggestions.
