[WSG] Placing a link text on top of BG image

2005-01-19 Thread Paul Ross
Hello WSG folks,

Further to Carmelyne's post I am also having trouble placing link text
over the top of background graphics. I used Patrick's solution of
adding span tags on the links but was wondering if there was another
way which is even cleaner. Or am I trying too hard and is the add span
method considered the best way? Surely there must be a way of using
CSS to position the text? I must be a gumby head because everything I
do affects the BG graphic underneath :/

I have done up a concept page of how the left nav should look and work
here: http://www.skyrocket.com.au/Concepts/testpage02.html

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Regards

Yes, there is a simple way: use padding.
See http://browsehappy.pl (note: .pl) - heading gfx is just h1
and text is positioned using padding.
Remember that elements must have display: block to respect padding.
Use ul for menu.
