Hey I'm trying to make my own theme, and I am trying to change the Block Headers. I want to add my own image as the header instead of some color then some text. Where do i go to change that? I have looked in the CSS and have found nothing titled for it, and have looked thru the coding and again, nothing matches what i am looking for. Thnks.

Taut sorry to bother u on IM...

first off a tip...when creating themes always remember that different theme makers have different ways and means of coding, therefore, not all the files will be the same from theme to theme.

now, depending on the files of the theme your using as a base, will tell you where to edit the block. I usually have a blocks.html file in the theme folder. Some have different files.

Post the theme your using as a base and I'll tell you where they have the blocks

If you looked closely in the style.css file you would have seen the answer....

look for this line:

TD.header {
   BORDER-RIGHT: #304A83 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #304A83 1px solid; FILTER: alpha(opacity="70"); BORDER-LEFT: #304A83 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #304A83
}


add your image code there and by the way, your sig is too big for use on this forum. Max size is 400wx100h

SO far i have put in this:

TD.header {
   BORDER-RIGHT: #FFFFFF 1px solid; BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url("?/themes/Triad/images/SiteLinks.jpg"); BORDER-LEFT: #a10b00 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #a10b00
}


And that seems to do nothing. I will now look for how to insert an image without it being a background attribute, which i see it not existing. I changed the BORDER-RIGHT to make sure i was looking at the right thing, and just havent changed it back. Thank you so far Taut for your help. If i get it before someone posts the answer ill post letting you know, but for now my question is this: What is the CSS attribute to insert an image?

oh I'm sorry....I thought you knew it. replace that line with this and insert your image path and hex colors

TD.header {
   BORDER-RIGHT: #hex 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #hex 1px solid; FILTER: alpha(opacity="70"); BORDER-LEFT: #hex 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px; BACKGROUND: #hex url("http://url_TO_IMAGE/image.gif") no-repeat center center
}

Sorry to get back to this topic so late, i had to take care of some personal family issues, and this is the first time on my computer in a week.

Yes, i did try <center>Title</center>. What shows up is the exact thing i typed in there, <center>Title</center>. Maybe there is something in the CSS?
