dreamweaver question

[sinem]

I drew a layout table and there will be text in this area. Is there a way to insert an image (to act as a background image) and then lay the text over this image so that the image will show through? If this is not doable, is it possible to create a floating text field over this image? thanks!

I have never used Dreamweaver so this is just a general answer.

All background colors or images will show through text. Just apply the background-image (I don't know how this is done in Dreamweaver) and then put text in the div or p tag as normal.

<div style="background-image: url(image.jpg);"><p>text in div</p></div>

or with a table
<table style="background-image: url(image.jpg);">
<tr><td>
<p>text in div</p>
</td></tr></table>

If you have an image that is not a background and you want text on top of it, then you can apply CSS layers; (not what Dreamweaver calls layers); see:-

but you should be abe to do what you want with a background-image.
