Can anyone help me with this menu problem?  The menu bar is being consumed by the header bar. The menu should appear as a transparent bar, with the active menu item in a blue background box, underneath the grey header bar. But in fact, the header bar comes halfway down the menu area. If only I could paste a picture...<br /> <br /> The page.ascx file code is as follows:<br /> <br /> <%@ Control language="vb" CodeBehind="~/admin/Skins/skin.vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin" %><br /> <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="LOGO" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Logo.ascx" %><br /> <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="LOGIN" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Login.ascx" %><br /> <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="CURRENTDATE" Src="~/Admin/Skins/CurrentDate.ascx" %><br /> <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="USER" Src="~/Admin/Skins/User.ascx" %><br /> <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="SEARCH" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Search.ascx" %><br /> <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="NAV" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Nav.ascx" %><br /> <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="BREADCRUMB" Src="~/Admin/Skins/BreadCrumb.ascx" %><br /> <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="COPYRIGHT" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Copyright.ascx" %><br /> <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="TERMS" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Terms.ascx" %><br /> <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="PRIVACY" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Privacy.ascx" %><br /> <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="STYLES" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Styles.ascx" %><br /> <%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="LINKS" Src="~/Admin/Skins/Links.ascx" %><br /> <br /> <br /> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><br />   <tr><br />     <td valign="top"><table width="960" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><br />       <tr><br />         <td valign="top"><table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><br />           <tr><br />             <td><img src="<%= SkinPath %>images/header_left.png" /></td><br />             <td style="background:url('<%= SkinPath %>images/header_mid.png');"><table width="960" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><br />               <tr><br />                 <td valign="top"><img src="<%= SkinPath %>images/spacer.gif" width="5" height="10" /></td><br />               </tr><br />               <tr><br />                 <td valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><br />                   <tr><br />                     <td width="1%" height="140"><dnn:LOGO runat="server" id="dnnLOGO" /><br />                       <!-- <img src="<%= SkinPath %>images/DDL-Insight-Logo5.gif" width="230" height="130" /></td> --><br />                     <td width="1%"><img src="<%= SkinPath %>images/spacer.gif" width="30" height="10" /></td><br />                     <td id="FirstPane2" runat="server"></td><br />                     </tr><br />                 </table></td><br />               </tr><br />               <tr><br />                 <td valign="top"><dnn:NAV runat="server" id="dnnNAV"<br /> ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider"<br /> IndicateChildren="False"<br /> ControlOrientation="Horizontal"<br /> CSSNodeRoot="main_dnnmenu_rootitem"<br /> CSSNodeHoverRoot="main_dnnmenu_rootitem_hover"<br /> CSSNodeSelectedRoot="main_dnnmenu_rootitem_selected"<br /> CSSBreadCrumbRoot="main_dnnmenu_rootitem_selected"<br /> CSSContainerSub="main_dnnmenu_submenu"<br /> CSSNodeHoverSub="main_dnnmenu_itemhover"<br /> CSSNodeSelectedSub="main_dnnmenu_itemselected"<br /> CSSContainerRoot="main_dnnmenu_container"<br /> CSSControl="main_dnnmenu_bar"<br /> CSSBreak="main_dnnmenu_break"<br /> /></td><br />               </tr><br />             </table></td><br />             <td><img src="<%= SkinPath %>images/header_right.png" /></td><br />           </tr><br />         </table></td><br /> <br /> Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

DNN Version? Link to the site for a visual? Example of how it should look? The HTML page code doesn't help much when it could be related to CSS or any other thing.

Sorry for the omission.  The site is running DNN 5.6.3. At the moment I have this skin loaded onto this page only www.ddlinsight.com.dnnmax.com/portal3.aspx. Here you can see how the header overlaps the menu bar.

You have a fixed height on the image that is serving as your background, even though you aren't using it as a background with CSS. Then you have the logo and other header content as a sub-table in the row where the image is located. Then in another row on the sub-table the menu is located. I am not sure where you want the menu to be located. But if you want it below the main header image then you need to remove it from the table where the image is located and add it to a new row in the main table and it will be below that image.

Honestly you probably need to move away from the table based layout to more of a pure CSS layout. Not sure if you know how to do that. What is your experience level? If you aren't actually a designer, then my recommendation would be to shell out a few bucks and get a good skin on Snowcovered and then go in and tweak it. You will learn a lot just from tweaking a good skin.

Or you could move up the value chain slightly and get the Morpheus skin pack with Skinlab from Nukeville off of Snowcovered. There is a reason that Morpheus has been #1 on Snowcovered since it was released.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions, I will have a play and see if that works.  I am not a developer, but have created and adapted a few skins and am still learning.  This was actually  a $300 custom skin developed by DNN Covered who refuse to accept that there's a problem. I've managed to fix the other problems but this one is proving more challenging and the budget was blown on the other clowns.  My client just needs the site up and running, so no pressure really!
