here is what I've done before,

<div id="header">
<div id="logoposition"></div>
<div id="banposition"></div>
<div id="menu"></div>
</div>

and these are the CSS

#header{
border:groove 1px;
width: 1000px;
height: 229px;
border-bottom-color: #6699FF;
border-collapse:collapse;
border-color: #6699FF;
border-left-color: #6699FF;
border-right-color: #6699FF;
margin-left: 75px;
margin-top: none;
visibility: inherit;
background-color: #768B8C;
position: absolute;
}
#logoposition{
height:119;
width:170px;
background-image:url(images/logo.gif);;
float: inherit;
position: relative;
visibility: visible;
margin-left:76px;
z-index: none;

}
#banposition{
height:120px;
width:660;
position: relative;
visibility: visible;
float:inherit;
left: 200px;
top: 18
background-image:url(images/ban.gif);

}
#menu{
height:30;
width:1000;
position:relative;
background-image:url(images/homemenu2.gif);
visibility: visible;
margin-left: 75px;
margin-top: 75px;
float: inherit;
}

This is what I've done , I am not yet familiar with the CSS stuffs, so try to help me.
thank you

There are a lot of conflicting stylecodes in your css. I couldn't really tell you which ones don't belong there since i don't know what you're trying to accomplish. The best way to approach a problem like this is to start basic:

html:

<div id="header">
<div id="logoposition"></div>
<div id="banposition"></div>
<div id="menu"></div>
</div>


css:

#header{
width: 1000px;
height: 229px;
background-color: #768B8C;
}
#logoposition{
height:119px;
width:170px;
background-color: blue;
}
#banposition{
height:120px;
width:660px;
background-color: red;
}
#menu{
height:30px;
width:1000px;
background-color: green;
}


Now you should be able to see something. Start adding small changes from here and look what kind of effect they have.

Thank you Thermaty,

Let me try it this way, but tell me if you use a background-image instead of background that it will works, because I want to put and positioning the images inside those DIV. Thank you!

If everything is positioned correctly and has the right dimensions it will also work with background-images instead of background-colours. It won't have any effect on the position and dimensions of your divs
