I would really like to know how to do this

CSS (I assume), overlay text on images...that's what it looks like. The best example would be at Silver Oracle....

Anyone have a tutorial they know of? Or, how difficult is this to do?

As far as I understand, you want to write on an image, don't you? WSell, that's easy with any software like photoshop or corel draw. With them you are able to work on images, and one thing you can do is writing on them...

Don't know whether this was your doubt

DO Cvidanja!! :s73

overlaying can't be done by CSS for asfar as i know.
but you can try using PHP, to create images with the text on it.
the only problem would be that search engines can't read it anymore, so that's not really the correct solution...

sorry that i can't help ya

iniwa.. no, that's not what I mean. I've been using photoshop for years, but what I want to do is layer text over images, etc., etc. using code (html, css, etc.) like on Silver Oracle.

overlay's cant be done with CSS, nor with html
with php i think it's possible, but that would come to the same as you would simply make it the same as you photoshopped it.

so sorry autumn.

Overlaying can be done in HTML, only problem is it will have to be the background for the entire site.

Ex. the link you provided. that site is a banner on top of a photo background. You can then place text over it by simple HTML coding

hobo, i think she means "overlay" like when you edit an image, you can set layers to "overlay" mode, so then blend in the ones beneath them.

you are just talking about putting text over an image.

(or i was looking at it in the wrong way)

**autumn whispers2me** · 11-06-2005, 02:06 AM

No, not any image editing. I'm talking about---well, remember when CSS first began becoming popular and one of the 'perks' with CSS is to layer objects (ie text over images, images over images, etc., etc.)? That's what I'm talking about.

Think about a fixed background, or even a regular background and how the text is layered over the top of it on the page: that's what I mean.

Didn't mean to be so confusing. Sorry about that. lol

It can be done with HTML I used it on the new Spawn Studios layout. Give me a holler on ICQ and I'll send

**Fragalot** · 11-06-2005, 03:05 AM

ow, now the fixed background is easy

.someclass {
background-attachment: fixed / scroll;
background-color: #333333;
background-image: url(images/background.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x / no-reapeat / repeat / repeat-y;
background-position: 100px;
}

i've tried to give the possibilities there aer for backgrounds here, seperated by an /

- use an class="someclass" tag in the cell where you want the background that you set in the CSS.

hope this was what you meant.
