Who Can Help Fix My Banner?

[2 FN LOW]

This is prob a simple fix for a coder...However i am not a coder...I designed a new banner that i am tryin to put on my forum...I would like the banner to flow all the way across the top of the screen..For example i would like it to look like it goes off the screen on both sides..To see an example of what i mean by going off the screen on the sides you can look at the banner on the forum below

http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/


this is the code in my header template

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<td align="$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

My banner is 1024px wide....Do i need to make it smaller? Regardless of that, i cant figure how how to get it to go to the end of the screen on both side...Any help here?

this is a link to my forum to see how it sits now
www.obsession2speed.com/forums

BTW let me just say that i am messing around with this as i go, so the image on my forum may change depending on when you click

UPDATE

I have gotten my banner to fit perfectly to the edges of my forum....However this isnt really what i was tryin to do...I was tryin to get it to flow off the screen as stated...I am using a smaller image at the moment to get it to fit like that...I have an image that is 1024px wide to use if i can get it off the edges of the screen.

Lets have a look. At what they did.

<!-- content table -->
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
    <td valign="top" width="555" height="133"><a href="index.php?"><img border="0" src="http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/headersplash/images/topheader_01.jpg" width="555" height="133" alt="" /></a></td>
    <td rowspan="2" align="right" valign="top" background="http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/headersplash/images/orangebg.jpg" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><img border="0" src="http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/headersplash/images/orange_car_right.jpg" alt="" width="452" height="180" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>

    <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<!-- open content container -->

3 Images in all

1 Left side - topheader_01.jpg - width="555"
1 Repeating background - orangebg.jpg - 1 pixel wide
1 Right side - orange_car_right.jpg - width="452" - align="right"


Together the left and right image min size is 1007 pix wide.

- If your computer resolution is at 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 and your browser is larger than 1007 wide, the topheader_01.jpg and orange_car_right.jpg will split apart and the cell on the right will show orangebk.jpg repeated over and over until the cell is filled.

what im tryin to figure out is how i can get my banner like that...If i have one large image to fit the screen how can i code it to make it fit like that?

Get TopStyle Pro, for starters.
It will help you code better. Your HTML code has a ton of deprecated tags.
Then, you will fix in no time your header problem.

why do i need that when i have dreamweaver?

[TECK]

Does dreamweaver tell you if a tag is deprecated and what you should use instead?

[2 FN LOW]

not sure, but it prob does

[TECK]

It does not.

I could use help with a similar problem, except I wiped out my logo code. What's the proper code to get it back and have my logo up there?

TIA,
