    First check out the blog so I can accurately describe the question (I’m not a coder). http://www.davidryanpaul.com/

    Drag your browser in and out makeing the body smaller and larger. See what happens to my top header image? How would I go about justifying it, or ‘locking’ it to the right side, so that the end of my title doesn’t disappear into the image above the sidebar?

    This is a mod of a free theme by Stacey Leung. I’ve only had experience with Flash, so I really don’t know what code to adjust here. Thanks a bunch.

    well as it sits right now, i’m seeing “David Ryan Pau” anyway… and that’s on 1024 resolution in both IE6 and FF on a PC with WinXP.

    the only thing i can think of is for you to run a stacking order by using “z-index:” in the css file… try doing a search for that and maybe you can get a better explanation, but basically it “layers” the elements on a page… so you’d want that sidebar to lay first, it would have “z-index:1;” in the stylesheet… the header, “z-index:2;” and so on…

    not sure if that’s the right answer, but it’s what I would try first if i ran into this issue.

    I see what you are saying, but will that in fact, stop my name from clipping on the right? I don’t care if it clips on the left when someone resizes their browser, because my title is right justified. For some reason, I’m thinking there has to be a function of the header image to be justified to the right, or at least ‘locked’.

    It seems like what you are saying with your suggestion, it would make the sidebar lay 1st, but would that prevent the header image from being clipped by it?

    Thanks for the response.

    here’s the thing, i’m not in your CSS file – i can only tell you what i’d try to do if you handed me the entire site and asked me to try to fix it myself.

    try it – if it doesn’t work, come back here and maybe we can figure something else out.

    the header isn’t moving. it’s an image, so it’s not going to. it’s the fact that you’re using a fluid theme, and your sidebar image covers it up.

    your other option would be to move the sidebar image down…

    but i really think you should practice “trial and error” when it comes to working in web design. that’s how i learned over 10 years ago, and continue to learn today.
