How can I write text over a background image?

[budbiss]

I have a background that is a stretched 5 pixel high image...I want to put text over it...how can I go about doing this?

Background of the page, layer, or table? Have you tried positioning text over it?

I don't understand the problem...

<div style="background:url(image.gif);">Text here</div>

...should work just fine.

Thanks, thats exactly what I was looking for...BTW, do you happen to know how to remove the underline underneith a link?

[DrDoc]

In your style sheet, do this:

a {
text-decoration: none;
}

You might be interested in paying a visit to the CSS forum [webmasterworld.com] where these, and similar, topics are discussed all the time.

OK, one more problem...I just realized that the bg image isn't showing as its normal size, its shrunken down...

[Wertigon]

That is the normal size. The previous size was the one that was stretched.
