How would I do this? Head ad with transparent background

[Ranger375]

I basically want to put a message and link in the right of the header, preferably on a semi transparent background. I've seen it done on a few site, and was wondering if someone could steer me in the right direction. I've done searches but have come up short

Use the ad_header template and float it right.

My code-fu is weak Could you give me an example I can work with?

<div style="float: right; background: #CC0000 url('path/to/image.png') repeat-x">
Content here
</div>

You will need to adjust the styling to suit.
Or you could create a class, add it to EXTRA.css and do it that way instead.
