Hello! I hope this doesn't sound confusing...On my page (I have frames) there is a picture. For some reason all the text or text boxes only show up underneath (covered up by) the picture! I've already tried the Vspace="10"> code and that doesn't work on text or text boxes. I also put the CSS sheet up and a firework code (which actually works! yay!) Anyway, how can I make the text or text boxes appear below my pic? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!

Could you post your code or link?

Here is a part of my html code:

<body bgcolor="#FFC9F2" link="#0000FF" vlink="#FF0000" text="#000000"
>

</tr>
<img style="position:absolute; top:10px; left:130px; width:320px;
height:280px" src="http://www.geocities.com/delicioussecret16/secretlogo.JPG">
</tr>
</table>
</head>

(there's a mumble jumble of the fireworks code here)

<form><textarea rows="5" cols="26" style="background-image: "http://www.geocities.com/delicioussecret16/bg-star.JPG" Vspace="100">type text here</textarea></form>

</body>
</head>
</html>

you got it really messed up. The basic coding always starts with:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

now you have finished a table,but there's no beginning on it. Beside that you don't need the table because you are absolute positioning the graphic that is in it, so the table has no use in this situation:


<html>
<head>
any style codes should fit in here
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFC9F2" link="#0000FF" vlink="#FF0000" text="#000000">

<img style="position:absolute; top:10px; left:130px; width:320px;
height:280px" src="http://www.geocities.com/delicioussecret16/secretlogo.JPG"><br>

(there's a mumble jumble of the fireworks code here)

<form><textarea rows="5" cols="26" style="background-image: http://www.geocities.com/delicioussecret16/bg-star.JPG" Vspace="100">type text here</textarea></form>

</body>
</html>

you have absolute positioned the graphic. so that one always shows up at 10pixels from top and 130 pixels from left. To prevent that you can take out the bold part, or make the textarea below that also absolute positioned.

also make sure everything is on the right place. Check if the fireworks code really belong between the<body> and </body> and not <head> and </head> and so on. Next time you should start with the basic html i typed in the beginning of the message, so that you can't make any mistakes.
