Help with header link…

January 19, 2010 in Technology with 6 Comments

So if you’ve ever noticed on my site, when I modified the template for my uses I’m unable to click the header to load the homepage anymore. I’m really new to PHP so I can’t figure out how to get that to work.

Here’s the code I’m using in the header to display the image (and the search box):

<div class=”logohead”><?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>

Here’s the code for class logohead:

.logohead{

margin: 0px 0 0 0;

padding: 5px 0 0 20px;

width:978px;

height:100px;

background: url(images/logoHEADER3.png)no-repeat;

border:1px solid #fff; }

So that’s it guys. How can I take that code and make it a link to the homepage of my site?

    OK – can you email me your header.php file? I’ll take a look.

    On page load. I’ve reenabled the code that’s causing it to happen. It’s the piece for search.

    Hm. Where are you getting the divide by zero error – at page load, or when you run a search?

    Thanks. I had to modify your code a little…leaving the image in my CSS caused it to actually appear twice so I took it out in my CSS. But now my header is a link! Thanks!

    I’m also getting an error with my search now (which is the second section of code) and I’m not exactly sure why. Any ideas what I might be getting a divide by zero error? I can show you whatever chunks of code you’d like to see.

    Ah, part of that was lost to the formatting gnomes.

    I’ve put it out on a public Google doc here: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dg8b6rnb_78cswmw4dx

    and I’ll try to remember to blog about it in the morning. :)

    Something like this should do the trick:

    <a href=""><img alt="The Work Is Never Done" height="100px" src="/images/logoHEADER3.png" width="748px" />

    You may need to add this to your CSS:
    logohead img { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

    I’m about to turn in for the evening, but feel free to catch me on Twitter (@daniellenelson) if you have questions.
