How to add a side wide banner

[Konzept plus]

I wan't to add a side wide banner via custom html. But when I attach my code for banner "after header" and edit a page, then i miss the last two rows inside the editor. I can't even see the arrow on the right hand side to scroll down.

How can I add a banner without screwing up the editor?

This is the HTML I'm using right now inside Documentation Theme:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" style="background:#F79618;"> <tr> <td width="28%"><img src="/images/kp_banner1.gif">
</td>
<td width="72%"><img src="/images/kp_banner2.gif" align="right"></td>
</tr>
</table>

Any suggestions?

Possibly a bug in confluence 4.0? Ie the css fails to take into account the size of banner when drawing the editor and footer etc. Sorry for being so vague but I've had similar problems before.

It might help to get rid of the Tip in the footer to make footer smaller. But I also don't know how to remove the tip.

For screenshot I was using IE 8 but it's the same with Firefox 5 and 6. It also the same on different machines.

I don't know how to attach here, so I uploaded to a hoster

It's crazy, with Confluence 3.5 it was working perfectly, now with 4.0 it is messed up.

Which browser and version of the browser are you using?

Can you attach a screenshot? This might help

Hello David,

thanks for this one. But same problem without tables.

I probaly have to edit the main template and not injecting the code afterwards? But I'm not sure where and how. I'm totally newbie in customizing themes/templates.

Thanks

Don't use tables unless you're adding tabular data.

Try something more like this (untested) instead:

<div style="background:#F79618;">
  <img src="/images/kp_banner2.gif" style="float:right;">
  <img src="/images/kp_banner1.gif">
</div>

For extra points, externalise the styles.
