By the way, you are all great. I am new to web design but learn quickly through you guys.
Probably the best way to accomplish what you want is by using a CSS solution, because then you can overlap DIVs and have the graphics do what you want.
Unfortunately, I am not a CSS guru; but if you post this question in the CSS forum, and dig through the CSS library there (I think there is an excellent tutorial there too), that should put you on the right path.
