    I have a rather large header and I only wanted to make one corner of it a link. How is this done with CSS?

    CSS has nothing to do with links... just display the header (via CSS probably, but not inavoidably necessary) in a div's background and then make a clickable area of desired size and position... or (absolutely) place a transparent gif enclosed with <a> tag at the right location - voila!

    Well, as long as the IMG attribute is used within the coding & the image is not a background image, simply create a hotspot using Dreamweaver over the corner.

    Using Dreamweaver seems to work, but it doesn't look like it creates css code, but instead just creates html code which I would have to copy and paste into every header div. Rasczak, can you point me to an example or tutorial for the way you described to do it?
