Subject: Custom Header on Monobook Template to Integrate in Existing Website
Hello,
I really like the look and feel of the monobook template and the dokuwiki engine seems versatile. Here is my issue. I have a website http://www.paddlingabc.com and would like to incorporate a wiki to handle the river guide portion of the website. It is a website about whitewater paddling. So I tried to incorporate Dokuwiki into it and ran into some issues. Iframes dont work because they dont resize and it looks bad. I decided to then create a template that matched my website.
So basically using the monobook template I would like there to be a header and menu that matches up with my websites. I have been playing around with the screen.css file as well as main.php and keep running into huge problems. In particular the tabs at the top dont stay put. I am open to moving to a new template if necessary but I would basically like to keep the look and feel of my site while adding in a wiki to handle the river guide portion. I basically want to be able to add in my html/php header on top of the monobook template while making the monobook template 900px wide and centered. You can see my trial and error work on http://www.paddlingabc.com/wiki/doku/doku.php.
My initial thoughts were to just sandwhich the entire wiki in its on <div> this didnt work as the tabs on top do weird things and dont seem to follow the <div>. Ths simplest solution for me would be if I could get the whole wiki in a <div> and then add my custom html header on top. Not sure if this is possible.
Basically I need to get the include hook from the default template for 'topheader' into the monobook template.
I would also like to remove the logo and move the navigation box up to the top so that it is inline with the tabs on top of the articles. This I can figure out in time but a pointer to the right file to edit would be helpful.
Thanks for the help.

. Adiditionally, MediaWiki's monobook styles are not intuitive at all - and monobook for DokuWiki is using them.
