Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA - Trying again

The thread on this (#2615) died without a solution... giving it one more try, can anyone tell me if this is doable or should I ditch my design?

I've done several sites with this theme and in every case I'm using flash or HTML in the header - in every instance, I have the page menu & any "bar1/bar2" I want at the top of the layout, followed by my custom header files. I'm playing with a layout that requires page menu & bar content BELOW the header art.

How do I chop up the code to do this? (Using 332 for this site, BTW). Everything I try breaks up the page, looks like a column span issue??

Here's what works with the menus/bars at page TOP:

Code:

</colgroup> 

        <tr>



<?php bfa_header_config($bfa_ata['configure_header']); ?>

                <!-- Header -->

                <td id="header" colspan="<?php echo $cols; ?>">                

                <div style="height: 303px;">PUT HEADER CONTENT HERE, flash, table, etc</div>

                </td>

                <!-- / Header -->

        </tr>

        <!-- Main Body -->

Someone had replied regarding the order of items in the header config. panel, but that's moot once you start pasting code into header.php - I've tried every arrangement of the above code I can think of with no luck yet.

Thanks! MC
