table over image - printing issues

hi, have been tryng to do a webpage that has an image with a table and form over it so a person can fill in their details and print out the page. Problem is that the only way I could think of doing this without slitting the image up is to have it has the table background image and have table + forms over it but background table images wont print out.

Is there a way to get around this? any point in the right direction would be a great help.

thanks in advance

Hi tenaciousdave, welcome to WebmasterWorld!

I suggest you use CSS to position the table and the image absolutely. Try something like this:


<body>
<div style="position: absolute;">
<img src="pix/some.png" width="628" height="134" alt="" border="0">
<table style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0" border=1>
<tr><td>helahola</td></tr>
</table>
</div>
