I see from your example you were able to insert your header into the
body somehow. Do you have any tips on how to do this?
I tried to solve this by creating a customized .css which put an image
and text "before" the body defined by __stock_webhelp.css. This looks
good at first, but on closer inspection we find that the last bit of
content in our longer sections cannot be viewed when scrolled down to.
What's missing in the content is an area about equal to the size of the
hacked in header we inserted. You can see an example of what I'm talking
about here:
http://www.xtuple.org/sites/default/files/refguide/current/dspSingleLevelBOM.html
Please remove your CSS customization as it may gets in the way.
This is done by passing the XSL stylesheets parameter wh-user-header
and/or wh-user-footer.
These parameters must point to an XHTML file containing
<div id="wh-header"> or <div id="wh-footer">.
You'll find the documentation of these parameters here:
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/xsltParams.html#xsltParams__wh-user-header
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/xsltParams.html#xsltParams__wh-user-footer

Yes, we use the same WebHelp compiler for DocBook and for DITA. However
we have documented this WebHelp compiler only in the case of DITA.
DocBook example:
---
xxetool convert -p toc.section.depth 4 \
-p chunk.section.depth 2 \
-p use.id.as.filename 1 \
-p olink.doctitle yes \
-p current.docid help \
-pu target.database.document ../common/doc_html.sitemap \
-p wh-collapse-toc yes \
-p wh-user-header wh_resources/header.html \
-p wh-user-footer wh_resources/footer.html \
-p wh-user-css wh_resources/header_footer.css \
-p wh-user-resources wh_resources/header_footer_files \
docb.toWebHelp help.xml -u $(DOC_DIR)/wh

where header.html, footer.html and header_footer.css are attached to
this email.
TIP: xxetool is XXE without a GUI. See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/xxetool/index.html. Works
the same with XXE, except that you must specify absolute URLs for
header.html, footer.html and header_footer.css
Title: Header 2
Title: Footer 2
#page-header {
background-color: #90D1F7;
background-image: url(header_footer_files/top_gradient.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: top left;
padding-top: 1ex;
padding-left: 1ex;
padding-right: 1ex;
padding-bottom: 0.5ex;
margin: 0;
}
#page-header-title {
text-align: center;
color: #484850;
font-size: 200%;
font-weight: bold;
}
#page-footer {
color: gray;
font-size: 85%;
