Help with multiple layers of images and text in CSS

[juicytuna]

How would I go about creating a clickable region which has an image covering the whole region and on top of it other images and text?

I cant render the whole thing in photoshop and save it as one image because I need to come up with a way to create them programticaly as the end user may not have access to and / or be able to use picture editing software.

All images would need to be in <img> tags as I want to use transparent PNG's and I don't think there is a way of getting them to show correctly in IE using the background property of CSS.

Now i've tried a few different things including setting the z-order of the elemnts and absolute positioning, but nothing has worked how I want it to.

Thanks for any help.

Absolute positioning is definitely the way to go here, as it will give you the finest control over the exact placement of items on top of the larger image.

Can you be more specific about how it hasn't worked how you want it to?
