I was wondering if someone could give me some ideas on how to get a few things lined up on my site.  Im using one of the included templates. My site is www.beachtownguide.com&nbsp; , if you noticed  the weather box is on top of the banner, id like it to be to the right.  I have tried everything i know to try to get it over to the right, no success.  Also, anyone know the reason why an AJAX tab script would look different inside of of CMS MS.  It looks fine stand alone, but when i put it in a page on cms ms it gets all messed up.  Any help would be appreciated, if you need access to the admin area to help me just send me a PM, i can also be reached on yahoo, if you would like to chat there, please send me a PM as well.

Thank you,
Nick

It appears in the top right corner to me

What I want to know is how did you insert your pic in the header instead of the CMS logo

Also is the wording in the pic or separate to the pier picture

The header is all 1 image, the pier (picture taken by me or my wife in Virginia Beach) and then i put the text over top of it in a photo editing software...then uploaded the header graphic and changed the CSS to point to it.  Also i used (thanks to the help of others)  style="float: right;"  to get the weather where i needed it.

Ok thanks Nick

I want to put text only in the header and am still struggling to do it even with a little help from this forum

Do you have a link?

If you are using a default template there is a call in the CSS to push any text in the header h2 off to the side...

I am using a default template css menu + 2 columns

I am trying to put text in what I believe is the H1 header which is set for images only in the default template

I have butchered it for now by creating a jpeg with the text in it temporarily but it is disgusting 

this is my first attempt at a web site and at cmsms, I know a little about Front Page but found it too hard to use but it did teach me enough html to change colours, sizes, positions etc.

I am enjoying learning cmsms but the lack of documentation in some areas makes it a bit harder than it should be

the site is at www.deblus.com.au

This is what moves it off to the side.... take it out and you will see any text in it... you were close, it is set at -999 in the default...

div#header h1 a {
/* you can set your own image here */
  background: #ff99cc url(uploads/images/deblus/header2.jpg) no-repeat 0 12px;
  display: block;
  height: 180px;            /* adjust according your image size */
  text-indent: -700em;  /* this hides the text */
  text-decoration:none;  /* old firefox would have shown underline for the link, this explicitly hides it */
}

thanks, but I must be thick

I still can't see how to insert text in there 

[Dr.CSS]

You can use what you want here, (red stuff)...


          Actually you can leave the tag and put some thing here...

I finally got that to work but it only applies to the home page as its in the template and not to all pages where it needs to be in the CSS

I have worked around it by creating a better quality image for now

How do you centre the image though


Why is the "header" not available in the WYSIWYG which would make it all a lot simpler

[Dr.CSS]

You can make it editable by adding a content block that will show up in the page edit space as 'Header'...

If you go to Extensions » Tags click on the name of the tag or Help to the right fpr the parameters the tag takes, such as 'content'...


          {content block="header"}

thanks for the help

I got the wysiwyg editor to work with the header but unfortunately it places the header below the main header
I have decided to go with an image as it appears what I want to do is not presently possible

I find it hard to believe no one else has wanted to put text in the header
