How to put text on this image?

What code is needed so that this image is the background and so I can put text on it? Thanks.

<img src=".../images/box2.gif" border="0" />

Code (markup):

 

you need to create a css block with that image as the background

html:
<div id="imagecontainer">
<p>text here</p>
</div>


css:

#imagecontainer{
background: transparent url("../images/box2.gif") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
}
