Trying to get swf into a template

[urban]

Hi All,

This is probably not the ideal place for this thread, but it seemed the best fit. I'm pretty fluent in html and basic css, but I've encountered a problem I am hoping somebody can help me with.

I downloaded a blog template which is full css and I'm trying to replace the static logo with a flash header but I'm not winning at all. I'm not exactly sure how to edit the template and css to accommodate the flash. Here is the html and css:

<div class="clear"></div>
<div id="top"> 
<div class="blogname">
	<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('siteurl');?>/" title="<?php bloginfo('name');?>"><?php bloginfo('name');?>
</a>
</h1>
</div>
</div>

I'm trying to get the flash to display in the 'top' id basically, the css is as follows:

#top {
	height:160px;
        background:#ffffff;
	margin:auto;
	width:1000px;
	border-bottom:1px solid #c3c3c3;
        border-top:1px solid #c3c3c3;
	
	}
.blogname {
	width:800px;
	font-family:Georgia ,Century gothic,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;	
	margin:0px 0 0 0px;
    float:left;
	background-repeat:no-repeat;

	}
.blogname h1  {
	font-size:125px;
	padding:0 0 0px 0;
	font-weight:normal;
	color:#cacccd;
	text-align:left;
	margin:0px 0 0 0px;
	text-indent:-9000px;
background:url(images/logo.png) no-repeat;
	
	}

You can see that is where you insert the logo image that I am trying to replace. If anybody could help me with this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Your code does not show where the current logo is but my guess would be that you want to include it between

<div id="top"> 
<div class="blogname">

Something tells me I am missing something here though.

At the moment the logo is called by the css via the blogname h1 style. It shows in the css above. Right off the bat I also tried to put it where you have just said but that seems to distort the header pretty badly, I'm under the impression that I'm also missing something really ssimple here.

I dunno if I'm allowed to post my url or not, I'm sure that would also make life a bit easier.

[HTML]

ou can post the URL just leave off the http://www.

Are you trying to replace the entire header, or still have the text, etc. there still?

[urban]

thx, the url is uag.co.za you can see where the logo is now, that is where i'm trying to get the flash in

Im just trying to get my header in the white bit. AFAIK there is no text, the code that is there now just creates a hotspot over the logo.....

There is text but it is hidden,

PHP Code:

<h1><a href="http://www.uag.co.za/" title="Urban Aluminium &amp; Glass">[b]Urban Aluminium &amp; Glass[/b]</a>
</h1> 


1 - images do not belong in header tags (h1) only text.

2- Hiding text is a huge no no, especially in a header tag. This could very well result in Google penalties.

Give me a minute to put something together.

[HTML]

can you post your flash.

Thx HTML, I really appreciate the help. This is also the first time I have ever seen a img tag in a H1 style.

I take it you want the flash code?
