Text over graphic

I have to ask the obvious, but why not just design the graphic with the text
already on it, this way, you won't have any alignment problems
whatsoever.... I seem to be missing the beginning of this thread, so may
be off base... but seems the easiest solution to me

I was trying to place text links over images (buttons).
I tried the CSS method you suggested like this:

There are four buttons in horizontal alignment. I removed first button
and
placed text in cell so it would appear on top of button when button I
placed
via CSS, however, the buttons size changed and the text was nowhere near
the
button center.

Then I tried working with a layer, but that was unrelated to the CSS
test.

Sory for the confusion.

I'm not sure what you're talking about.
Why is it hard to align the text?...
Why is the image size reduced?...
You're creating layers?...

It's very hard to tell what you're trying to do at this point.
If you could upload the page and give the URL, that would help...

I see how it works, but that was the easy part!
Aligning the text where I want it is the stumper.

Also, if I have several buttons as in a nav bar,
I would have to create a css for each one, which
is not too bad, but then when the css is applied,
the image size is reduced.

I found creating a layer also displays the text in
indefinte browser areas.
