Common template - header

[chrisj8221]

As we all know the existing code in the common templates - header reads like this...

PHP Code:

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
    <td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
    <td align="$stylevar[right]">
        &nbsp;
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output 


It is my userstanding that we can simply overright everything with our own code to create a functional header. Is the correct? and being such a newbie it seems like if i were to just erase the above and replace with my own code - some of the good stuff above would be missing?

I'm just trying to figure out what a am going first before leaping in.

Thanks in advance!
