Shadow X Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 ok, so im new here, and new to html, so i have a question i cant find the answer to. so i have a website im making, and i want to be able to type on an image as if it were a background. i have the image sliced exactly where i want it exactly how i want it, and i want to know how to set the image so i can type over it just regularely without typing directly in the code. Originaly i thought setting the image to a background would fix it, but then instead of the image staying where it is it just repeated itself, and i dont want that. the code is:<IMG SRC="image/Index_34.gif" WIDTH=739 HEIGHT=470 ALT=""></TD>i have done it before a long time ago and i cant remember how, but i typed something into the code of the image exactly like the one above, and i was able to type on the image as if it were a background, but the image itself stayed exactly the same and didnt move. if you can please help with this it would be greatly apreciated.

Where exactly should i put that code inheres a chunk of the code, and ill show u how i was doing it.<IMG SRC="images/Index_33.gif" WIDTH=596 HEIGHT=15 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=15 ALT=""></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=11 ROWSPAN=7> <IMG SRC="images/Index_34.gif" WIDTH=739 HEIGHT=470 ALT=""></TD> <TD> <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=24 ALT=""></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD COLSPAN=5> <IMG SRC="images/Index_35.gif" WIDTH=225 HEIGHT=52 ALT=""></TD>and i was putting in the code in place of the <IMG> tag(at images/Index_34.gif), and then i tried at the <TD> tag below it, but still nothing. but thanks so far i have a better idea of how to do it.

BabaFree Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 What about just editing it in a Graphic Design program and writing text straight into the file. If you're looking for something cheap, check out GIMP or Inkscape. They're free.BabaFree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
