Hi Kay, I found this site yesterday. I think this is something like what you are looking for. It looks like, just for the top header image, they embed 3 images in the html, then put a background image (4th image) that's styled to repeat along the width of the view port, no matter what size it is. It's a great effect. Btw, all the images are in the html file, not in the .css file if you're going to have a look. -Avril /***snip ***/ The design was initially created to be fixed width, typical blog style centered and dropshadowed with curvy panels, but the client wanted it to be fluid (or at least expand to higher resolutions). Due to some swirly background work, the only place the design can safely expand is through the centre. That means a background graphic hanging off the left hand side, another hanging off the right hand side, and another background image as the main panel background. Does anyone know of a layout doing this that I can steal implementation ideas from? I'm trying to avoid using a table, although I may go that route, because I'd like to use absolute positioning to make the source order search engine friendly. Thanks for any pointers... /***snip***/ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ Proud presenters of Web Essentials 04 http://we04.com/ Web standards, accessibility, inspiration, knowledge To be held in Sydney, September 30 and October 1, 2004 See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
