I know I'm gonna sound like a newbie, but (as I've said before) my skills are little and simple.
Especially when it comes to making pictures.

Newbie Picture Question:
I have a picture of one of my horse charries, and I've seen it where people put their charrie's post on the charrie's actual picture.
Is this....
a) A text box placed on the picture
b) A table with a chopped up picture in/ picture in background
or
c) Something entirely different because it's clear that I have no idea what I am talking about
:help:

I've never seen one of these but it sounds like the picture is just being used as a background. If you could maybe post a link to an example, just to be sure? :)

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="#" height="#" style="background-image: url(URLOFIMAGEHERE.GIF); background-repeat: no-repeat;">
<tr><td> text here </td></tr></table>

change red part to the url of the image you want as a background

or put the image on the website and use this textbox to position it on top:

<div style="position: absolute; left: #px; top: #px; width: #px; height: #px;">text here</div>

change all #'s above to numbers

Love,

I just spoke to a friend, and she informed me that what I was trying to do is make a layout... Which got me even more confused. I think what I am trying to do is posistion a text box on a picture. So I guess my question is: How do you posistion a text box on an image?

Try this code:
<form ACTION=URI><textarea rows="5" cols="26" style="background-image:url(your image URL here)">your text here</textarea></form>
Change the blue words.
I hope it helps!
