Well, the website you're talking about seems to have simply placed the image and the text together, of course, inside a <div> container... perhaps they have an external stylesheet that reduces the z-index of images.

In any case, what you could try doing is create a separate body.main class and set background image to whatever picture you want, and have an attribute that says no-scroll. For instance:

CODE

body.main{
background-image:
url('whatever');
background-repeat:
no-repeat;
background-attachment:
fixed;
}


If you aren't particularly familiar with CSS, try visiting the W3Schools training pages.

To put text over an image is quite easy, you can do it with tables by setting the background of a table to an image like this:

CODE
<td valign="top" background="img/light_paper.gif">


or using CSS tags like this:

CODE
<div style="position: relative; margin-bottom: -35px; padding-left: 7px;"><img style="display: block; position: absolute; width: 466px; height: 50px;" src="http://www.runescape.com/img/scroll/scroll457_top.gif">


There are other ways, but these are the common ways to do it.

Hope that helps. smile.gif

It's obviously that you're new in cascading style sheet (css), so, if you want a cool ebook about it, just private email me and i send it to you right away.

Or you could just set a background image for whatever element contains your text, e.g.:

CODE
h3#yourText { background: url(yourimage.jpg) top left no-repeat; }
