Is it possible to make a textbox with a background but have the background image bigger than the textbox?

what do you mean by "the background image bigger than the textbox"??

do you mean you want an image and then a smaller text box in front of it?

because the code would be something like

<img src="your-image.jpg" alt="title of the background">

<div style="height: ##px; width: ##px;">

writing goes here

</div>


edit the bold ## things with a height and a width that is [obviously] smaller than the background image. is that what you're asking for? :o
