Not as a background image.... I know it can be done.. in DHTML (but only in netscape, from what ive read), and in CSS and maybe others..
But basically you take 2 images (or text, html).. and you layer them..
So like if i had image1.jpg and image2.jpg, i could have image1.jpg under image2.jpg, and you couldnt see the image1.jpg only the image2.jpg because they are layered...
