    Hi I am using DW 8 to design a webpage I want to create something similar to this :

    If you look at www(dot)redanywhere(dot)co(dot)uk/ at the bottom they got a text which says 'anywhere' in the background but its divided into two parts I want to know how to do something similar also on top of the page they got a bcakground image featuring table setting (fork ,knives e.t.c) how do I do that?


    Another page is majestic-escorts (dot com) how do I make those fine bevelled corners ? and then place maroon background ? I am not very good with css codes and all so have mercy on me

    It has nothing to do with Dreamweaver, you need you design it first (draw it), then cut it and think how you can put it all together. If you dont know or you are not able to draw it first, theres nothing to do. Just start learning...

    The only way I know of to do this is to create the image and then using CSS set it as a transparent background. If your not to good at CSS you should learn. Try going to W3schools.com

    It's all about CSS, these days people make websites with CSS.
    Google CSS

    You must have image first, what has those corners, then you need to cut it to pieces and place them using css.

    You should draw the background images first, and place it using CSS...
    IMO, you should start learning Photoshop, or Image Ready instep to make it easier for you ;)

    The background text was done with 2 images: graphics/anywhere-img.gif and graphics/footer-img.gif (you can view them in browser if you add these 2 names to domain name). So you just draw text image, cut it into 2 and place as background of DIVs.

    And I have no clue about which corners you are talking.
