PatternSkinCssCookbook Recipe: Hide the top bar

This line loads the extra style definition:

   * Set USERSTYLEURL=%ATTACHURL%/notopbar.css

You can write this line in TWikiPreferences, in WebPreferences, in your user topic or on a single page.

<style type="text/css" media="all">
#patternLeftBar { background-image:url("%PUBURLPATH%/%WEB%/%WEBPREFSTOPIC%/logo.gif"); }
</style>

If you don't write this overloading style in a template and use an external .css file, you need to set the image to the absolute url:

<style type="text/css" media="all">
#patternLeftBar { background-image:url("/foswiki/pub/TWiki/WebPreferences/logo.gif"); }
</style>

You can always write a <style> in a topic - all current browsers support this - but the page won't validate as valid XHTML.
