okay, iv gotten this far:myspace.com/fiftyfivethreads

but i need to center my countdown timer in the middle so its proportional to the rest of the header. preferably fix the positioning like the 50% trick you guys showed me before
CODE

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" height="180" width="800">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="movie" value="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/3184/countdown.swf" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" src="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/3184/countdown.swf" height="180" width="800" wmode="transparent" />
</object>

the thing with positioning, if you follow web standards in building a layout, you shouldn't need to use CSS hacks for cross-browser compatibility. IE's still the least web standards compatible, but it's getting there, and positioning is the least of its problems. people usually need CSS hacks for IE because they end up throwing in some wild code that just barely works in other browsers (something like a child of a child of a child of an element moving into another child).

keep it simple, and it'll always work.
