Im trying to insert a banner at the top of my website. I want this banner to stay there regardless of what page or sub dir you're looking at on my site. Would that be considered a style? sorry if thats stupid but this is my first day of css. Thanks

Yep that would be a style. You could create a new div tag in the HTML and then apply a background and height to this, as shown below:

HTML:

<div id="header"><h4>Some stuff here if you like</h4></div>

CSS:

#header {
background: url("route to the image you want") left top no-repeat;
height: 200px;
}

Hope this helps

Is there a way to make that header into a link also?

how do u mean? the whole banner 1 link or on the banner a link?

Making the banner into one link... right now, I never create a css header with a background image, because I don't know how to link that banner to the homepage, which is pretty standard, from what I know. I always just use a regular <img> and <a href=> combo instead of styles. I would imagine there is a better way to do it, but I don't know what it is...

I guess if you want to make it a link u should use <img> and <a href> tags else you should use background image with css
