Re: Can I place text over an image?

Keep in mind that if Dreamweaver keeps you from doing something, it's
not necessarily the case that your goal is unobtainable -- only that you're
trying to go about it in a way that doesn't work in HTML.

I can think of two different approaches: 1) use Layers (which are
actually just HTML <div> tags that have CSS positioning); layers can be put
wherever you like and have a stacking order (the CSS z-index property) that
would allow you to put text in a layer, then a layer over a graphic; 2)
alternatively, set your graphics as table cell *backgrounds* rather than
graphics sitting in a cell (this would be either the CSS background-image
property or the HTML background attribute).

This may be simple, but I'm not figuring it out. I am trying to find a a
way to
place text over an image in web pages using layout tables/cells in
Dreamweaver
MX. For example, I've created a nav bar that's one image, and I want the
actual
text links to be CSS text, so that I can change them in the future. Once
I've
created a layout table and/or layout cell, Dreamweaver won't let me place
anything over it. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
