Hi, I need to design a page which is fairly conventional, banner graphic, div for navigation, content and a footer. The only problem is that it needs an 18mm wide stripe going down the left hand edge of the page from the very top to base. A faux column approach won't work here as there are too many colour shifts running down the page. At the moment I am not sure how to get a div to sit on top of all the other elements rather than pushing them out the way. This is a piece of cake using a table, but I don't want to admit defeat. J
You could use positioning to position your stripe so the CSS would be: .stripe {width:xxpx; height:xxpx; position:absolute: top:0px: left:10px;} Then change the values to your suiting. This is only if the height is known. The other is to put everything in a WRAP and then add the image as a background to the wrap.
