  I was wondering if it is possible to have the header image overlap the container?

  I’m sorry, I don’t understand your question… the header is inside the container, so I don’t really get what you’re asking.

  Sorry. My header is fine right now. I was wondering if it is possible to create a new header image that has more width than the container, and make that new header image overlap the container, instead of having the container crop the new header image on the sides.

  Does that make more sense?

  yes, now it does.

  hmmm… you can make it overlap the container using “position:absolute”, but it wouldn’t “flow” with the rest of the layout since you’d be setting a fix top and left positions with it. I mean, the header would stay in the “same” place no matter how big or small your browser window is… so I don’t think it’d look good.

  If you visit this link, it kind of helps visualize what I am talking about. In this case, the two skulls overlapping. http://www.aegmedia.com/

  Actually, if you look at that, there are 3 separate images – one for the square box and then 1/2 skull each on left and right. (I looked at the CSS – couldn’t locate the images in there so they must be somewhere else – in the php maybe?)

  oh, I see… that’s also something like this:

  yeah, it would be possible, but you’d need to tweak a lot of the CSS…
