Some thing like this?
<div class="bodyclass">
<div class="header">
A Header for the page
<div class="navigation">
The Navigation bar stuff
</div>
</div>
</div>
Just set the css page items to your requirements.
Here is an example...
.bodyclass
{
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
width:1024px;
height:900px;
}
.header
{
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
width:1024px;
height:100px;
background-color:rgb(41,110,43);
padding-top:5px;
font-size:72px;
text-align:center;
color:rgb(204,245,100)
}
.navigation
{
background-color:rgb(204,245,100);
width:1024px;
height:27px;
font-family:Andalus;
font-size:medium;
color:Maroon;
}
