How to get the image behind the text?

Is there a html code that allows images to be behind the text, so that I can write on the image?

 

Just set it to background on a table (td) or something like that...

 

Thank you.

I made the image as background image of the cell. Problem fixed

For other people have the same problem, here is the code

<td rowspan="1" colspan="5" width="780" height="179" background="image.gif">

Code (markup):

 

You could do the same by setting a background image for a DIV in CSS

 

Glad you got it. Just as additional information, you can specific background images for the entire page (body tag), a table, a table row, table cell, or a variety of other entities via CSS and Dynamic HTML. If the text is fixed, you can also simply create an image that has the text included.

 

another alternate is the z-index

 

Lpspider,
Can you please explain Z-index? How can I put text over a background image with z-index type of code. I only familiar with html <td> <tr> & <table>. Other syntex I never touched during my one year of htmls making period.

Thanks in advance.
