Hi Don,
Try the following:
Get rid of the images and the javascript rollover for the navigation on the
header.
Mark up that navigation as HTML type as you want.
Set the height for the #header in ems instead px.
As you define the base font 62.5% you get 10px = 1em.
So the header height must be : 19.9 em instead 199px
Now when you resize the browser text size the header increase in height and
reveal the background not covered by the
header image (actually the color for the background is white)
At this point you have the following options:
1-) Choose an image greater than 199px in height. (better)
2-) Set a blue color for header background. (not so good)
Regards,
Maurício Samy Silva
