anyway to place image over text in html table???
 

ok say you have a simple html table.. like

<table width="461" height="157" border="0">
<tr>
<td nowrap="nowrap">I am a table..</td>
</tr>
</table>

Is there a way to say use an image to kinda be the background of the table, but the text will be underneath??

basically lets say i have the text "I am a table", and i have some white blank image, can i use that image to cover up the text or overlap the text.. ive seen this done somewhere..

basically using an image as a foreground, so it covers up the text in the table?

you use the image as the table background, make the table to same size as the pic
then you can write on top of the pic

Trying to figure out some black hat SEO are we?

You could do it very easily with CSS. Why do you need a table?

I believe they cover this in HTML 101.

more or less you'd have to float the image using CSS and use "position: absolute" so that it will go on top of whatever is in its way

....and i hope this isn't for SEO :1orglaugh

not seo at all. i dont even do seo.. its for other blackhat shit..

So nobody has given me the code yet to use an image to cover the text in the table..

Pretty sure a couple methods were both explained. And as stated, this is Grade 4 html.

one method is to write on top of the image(not what i want)

the other guy said css(rather not use css)

i googled table foreground image.. nothing really coming up..
any other ideas?

Inline styles or CSS is the ONLY way you are going to do it. No one can give you the code as the positioning requires specific placement coordinates based on where you want it on your page.

:2 cents:

it ain't happening without CSS of some sort. maybe javascript of some sort could pull it off but that seems like pointless overkill

there's never been such a thing as "table foreground"

Pure CSS is the way to go! :) I can do it for very cheap, just send me your webpage and I'll fix it for you. ICQ : 34916475 :thumbsup

People saying we need to see the page to do it. Or that they'll do it for "cheap"?

Yikes.

.thisisyourcontainerdiv { position: relative; z-index: 1; }
.thisistheimageclass { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 2; }

<div class="thisisyourcontainerdiv">
This is text
<img src="thisistheimage.jpg" class="thisistheimageclass" />
</div>

Something like that should work.

btw, wtf are you trying to do?
