Another not as far as I know (but that is only as far as CSS2) alternative is to layer content <div id="image"><image height="10em" width="10em" src="x.jpg" /></div> <div id="content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Cras odio leo, feugiat ut, adipiscing vitae, malesuada id, risus. Aenean non augue. Nulla gravida mi id mauris.</div>
#image, #content { position: absolute; top: 10em; left: 10em; height: 10em; width: 10em; } #image { z-index:1; } #content { z-index:1; } Which will work well for fixed layouts, ie you can fix the size in ems of all divs with scalable background images and make use of container divs with position: relative; -- Nick Cowie http://nickcowie.com ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
