Does anyone know how I can make my header top banner picture continue on the right side indefinately? I don't want to have the image just repeat, I just want the far right edge continue on. But not stretching the whole image, if you understand what I mean?!

No, I mean....someone once edited this kind of thing before for me. There was, almost like, code that cut off the right side of the image, which was only the colors of the picture, and continued that part on. Almost like it cut off the edge, created a new picture, then made it all look like one. I can't think of how to explain it better, sorry :(

It's pretty simple. Take the banner into photoshop or another image editor, and copy the very last 1 pixel to another file. Save it, upload it, then use the new image as the CSS background image for the header, with repeat-x set. Then create a child div and set the logo as the background to it, or just call it within it as a regular HTML image, your choice.

Anyway, see here for the example: http://jsfiddle.net/tutmeister/X9xyQ/6/embedded/result/

You'll have to excuse the smaller logo, my photobucket account automatically resized it and I couldn't figure out how to make it not resize. The basic idea is that the background will repeat to infinity, thus creating the illusion of a never-ending logo.

aarbee, the reason you shouldn't create a very long image is because of the bandwidth it takes up. Both for the client, who will experience longer page loads; as well as the server-side, which will see more bandwidth eaten up. The method I used above is the most efficient way to create the illusion.
