 * Please bear in mind the header image is writen within the stylesheet

 * The code would need to be added to header.php and might look something like:
 *     ```
       <?php if(is_page('foo')) $page_style='foo';
       elseif((is_page('bar')) $page_style='bar';
       else $page_style='default';
       ?>
       <div id="header" class="<?php echo $page_style);?>">
       [.. rest of header ..]
       ```
   
 * The different images could then be applied via the page-specific classes in the
   theme’s stylesheet.

 * And how does that replace the header.jpg in the css?
 * Thanks anyway but I’ve found a better method
