Hello,

With NS I was able to do something like:

Here is some text
that I am writing over
an image.

This will write the text directly on top of the image. Does anyone know how I can get the same effect using IE? Thanks.

Try this:

<html> 
<body> 


<span style="position: absolute; left: 20; top: 50"> 


<img src="image.jpg" border="0" width="32" height="32"> 
 
</span> 
 <span style="position: absolute; left: 75; top: 120"> 
<p>Here is some text<br> 
that I am writing over<br> 
an image. 
</span>
</body> 
</html>

Ken,

Thanks! That works. In the meantime, I also figured out another way (similar, but not the same). I used:

.c { position: relative; left: 5px; top: -160px; font-size: 18px }

Here is some text
that I am writing over
the image

Thanks again for your help!

Bob
