    Need help with placing text image on header.
    « on: September 23, 2008, 01:12:05 AM »


    How do I put a smaller image on top of a larger image?  In this case, it's a text image on top of a header graphic.  Both are jpgs.  Can I actually position the smaller image?

    Thx

    You can open the large image in mspaint and copy and paste it into mspaint.
    From there, you can move the smaller image around, and then save it.

    Is this HTML we're talking about?

      No worries. :)

      Do you have any code already? Can you post it?
      Is there any (seperate) text in the header?

        One option which will give you some room for manipulation is to use absolute positioning in CSS. 

        The smaller pic will need a higher value Z index so it will be on a layer - then you can move it where you want.
        Ain't technology great - until it goes wrong!

          My suggestion was to put the two images together before uploading them to the website.

          You can use tables for that. Just set the background of the table to the background image, and putting the other image inside the table:

          Code: [Select]
          <table border="0">
            <tr>
              <td style="background-image:url('image1.jpg');background-repeat:none">
                <img src="image2.jpg" border="0" alt="A picture..." />
              </td>
            </tr>
          </table>

          Is this what you want?
