I really don't know what I am doing, but I work at a radio station and my boss wants me to figure out how to leave our header stationary and let all the content scroll underneath the header. Anyone know how I can do this?

First, tell your boss it's a bad idea. People know how to use their scrollbars and do use it.

That being said, there are 2 other methods, neither of which I really recommend.
1- use javascript to have the header follow the reader down the page - this is the least offensive solution, but anyone with javascript turned off won't get the effect.

2 - Frames - and this is a REALLY bad idea because it WILL be a problem if you care about your content being indexed by search engines. Frames prevent that.

I can offer another solution but without seeing your URL it is a little difficult to say whether it is useful to you.

If it just a static image (i.e. with no links in the header) you could set it as a no-repeat, fixed background using CSS.

body {
background-image: url("background.jpg");                                 background-attachment: fixed;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

The above should do the trick, if you turn your header into an image file and save in your root directory as background.jpg


Give us more information and I'll look into it some more for ya.

I believe what you are talking about is a frame set.
