A set 'width: 717px;' will keep it at that width, no matter what. Too many conflicting styles and element-relations in the page as a whole to make scaling work reliable now, so you'll have to trim it up a bit first.

RE: [WSG] Could really use some help with image overflow
I started to look at your CSS but got lost in all of the empty rules. I realize you are using a template css file, it would help to clean it up before seeking advice. Not a rant, just a suggestion. I first thought that you might want to add a percentage based width to the image, but that would distort it. I then thought you could add a background color to the paragraph. It seems to have a transparent background that allows the image to sneak past. But that is just a bandaid. If you want the nifty rounded edges to remain, perhaps you could use the png/z-index method on allthatmalarkey.co.uk or is it com? You could have a white mask that sits on top of the header image, as the page is made smaller, the mask would move on top of the banner image. Try putting the image in the CSS, you can control it better (background image).

Barrie North Personally, I would make the image the background of the header div. It doesn't add anything but aesthetics and isn't required for a person to understand the page or the content. All the best, Jay

In my banners/headers I almost always use background image...alternative is a % width. Or am I missing something/being dumb?

I haven't looked at the code but overflow:hidden wil give you the effect you are looking for!On 12/21/05, Barrie North < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi all, I have a fluid layout and for the life of me can't get the image to be "cropped" as the screen adjusts.Here is the link: http://www.compassdesigns.net/joomlashack/ If you resize the window the image will stay on top.
