Stuck in html
Hey guys,
I need your help. I have just had this new site design, but I have had some problems.
I need to put text over the top of some of the images, such as title bars, side bars..etc, and I normally can do it, but for some reason, when I try to put the text on top of one of the images, it either writes the text above or below the image.
Any help please???

How are you trying to do this? Are you using the images as backgrounds or what? Are you using tables or CSS?
It would help to give us a URL so we can see exactly what the problem is.

If you can see, I need to put text over the right side panel, to show two of my hostings - yet I cannot do this for some reason or another.
I also need text over the title bars, and next to the server picture below the header.

You will need to make those images backgrounds to the table cells so that you can then put the text into the cell.

td.hosting1 {background-image: url('www.mesay.com/img.gif');
background-position: fixed;
}

You could just use a simple alt tag:
<img src="image url" alt="This text is on the picture!">This is a simple HTML tag. I think it is supported by most browsers.

alt tags disappear on some browsers once the image has loaded but you can use title="same text as alt" as well which stays put. This will only put the text in the image, not on.

Another way would be to position the text with css. It is easy and fast.
