Re: Text positioning w/Styles

On my page, I'm positioning text on top of a graphic. I'm using the
following code on my page:

img src="images/plainTop.gif" border="0" alt="" /
div style="position: absolute; top:98px; font-size: small"
div style="position: absolute; left: 190px"><a href="aboutus.html">About
Us</a></div
div style="position: absolute; left: 321px"><a
href="faq.html">FAQ</a></div
div style="position: absolute; left: 415px"><a
href="stocksprings.html">Stock Springs</a></div
div style="position: absolute; left: 542px"><a href="sitemap.html">Site
Map</a></div
div style="Position: absolute; left: 655px"><a
href="resources.html">Resources</a></div
/div

This displays perfectly in both Firefox and Mozilla. In Internet Explorer,
however, the text doesn't appear at all. Would one of you experts be so
kind as to point out my error?

I'm not an expert, but what if you just used the image as the
background of a div wrapped around those things you want the image to
be underneath?

I also don't have IE, so I don't know if that would work better.

I mean something like this:

<div style="background: url(images/plainTop.gif">

<div> ... your buttons and stuff... </div>
<div> ... etc, etc... </div>

</div>

I tried it out on the page for which you posted the url and
it still seems to work in firefox.

Apparantly I didn't pay attention to what I was doing. My solution
doesn't work the way I thought, and of course I didn't notice until a
minute after posting it (sorry).

I wonder though, if there still isn't a way to use the banner image as
a backgound in css instead of as an element in the html to achieve
what the OP wants?
