thank you thats pretty much what i was ending up doing- i believe i follow most of the code some is new but i understand what you have done for the most part.. but i want to keep the content area fluid as when more content is added and remove allowing the footer to expand with the content, right now the footer is fixed..'

yea i understand what you are saying , here is a link to the mockup im trying to code.. I was thinking of just having a big BG image for the whole page then fill the reset with the bg gif when its required...I have an idea how to code it , I know basic html and css just not a pro at it still learning, I just didnt know if I left the whole image for a BG was a good or bad idea i guess trial and error works best... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v255/mest22/barber_mock.jpg

ok i created a template in psd the client likes it now im trying to cut it up and get it looking the same for html use, i seem to be running into a problem tho, my menu overlaps my header, now i am trying to find the best way possible to slice this up and get it into code, do i slice it up into too diffrent images or sperate images and intergrate them indivdualy for each one for menu buttons.... when i do it as a header image then a menu image they dont overlap because of the auto padding due to each being its own div, so i said ok lets not make them overlap, but i run into the problem that the menu boxs dont line up with the images... im a bit confussed i didnt really stop and try to figure this out as i have 2 other projects i am doing aswell that are a bit easyer to get into code... thanks franco
