Has anyone actually implemented a servlet where one uses a standard picture
and writing a tag over it. For example, a small picture of a ship and then
write the tag over it. This could make it a customizable implementation for
generating "buttons". By changing the background image, you could customize
the button and text displayed.
The call to such a servlet could then pass 2 parameters - "backimg=ship.jpg"
and "text=Home Page".
