This topic was covered once, but I searched the archives and couldn't find the answer. What is the name of the mod that allows you to place text over a graphic (.gif) and where can I find documentation in its regard?
Thanks.
Thanks.

If you are talking about putting a background image in a table... that's easy to do.
You can add the <TABLE BACKGROUND="" BGCOLOR=""> tags, and even change them in the <TD BACKGROUND="" BGCOLOR=""> tag as well.
Can create some interesting effects, but it's not really text-over-graphic, since the image will be tiled just as the <BODY BACKGROUND=""> image would be.
This works in Netscape and MSE, at least the past 2 or 3 most recent versions of each.

You can accomplish this without style sheets via tables. For example:
<table>
<tr>
<th background="image">text</th>
</tr>
</table>
Works with MSIE but, however, I believe this does not work with Netscape.

Code:
<DIV id="whatever" style="position:absolute; left:50 top:32"> SAMPLE TEXT
</DIV>
This will place SAMPLE TEXT on top of everything on you web page at the position 50 pixels from the left and 32 pixels from the top. You can also specify negative pixels left:-50 top:-32 which will place SAMPLE TEXT behind the screen
I know that this trick works with 4.x browsers, but not sure if it works with 3.x
Good luck.

If you are looking for a perl module to do something like this check out GD.
