It seems easy enough to design a graphic to use as a masthead to fit a particular size. But when this is viewed on a monitor which is set to a different pixel size then either the page will have to be scrolled or will not fit the whole of the page.

How to get a masthead that that is capable to being viewed with the whole width of the screen irrespective of how the montor is set? Setting the graphic to a percentage will surely cause some distortion.

I'm thinking that the trick is to have a graphic set again a background colour that matches the graphic. But is there a better way?

Thanks.

As you have worked out for yourself, you need to use a background colour as the stretchy bit and place sliced-up parts of the masthead (preferably as transparent GIFs) across the masthead. You can use a table or CSS, whatever you are more comfortable with.]]> 10/03/04, 277 18 2004 2004:%i:1096813126 10:18:46 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/masthead_question/#p1398 Dave_smith said: http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/masthead_question/#p1399 10/03/04, 277 43 2004 2004:%i:1096814604 10:43:24 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/masthead_question/#p1399 Baxter said: http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/masthead_question/#p1400 http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2004/09/sifr-2.0b2-mo-betta-beta]]> 10/04/04, 278 33 2004 2004:%i:1096896799 09:33:19 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/masthead_question/#p1400 Joe Gillespie said: http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/masthead_question/#p1401 Eric Meyer does this for his header.]]> 10/05/04, 279 04 2004 2004:%i:1096970688 06:04:48 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/masthead_question/#p1401 Dave_smith said: http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/masthead_question/#p1402 10/05/04, 279 42 2004 2004:%i:1097026947 21:42:27 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/masthead_question/#p1402
