As you have guessed, i am dumb, I know very basic CSS and only just get by...I am trying to learn but the tutorials on the net keep telling me to slice up 3 images...a top, middle and bottom. and set middle to no-repeat....but, my designs don't work that way...I have a lot of slices and they can't repeat because they are all individual...What i want to know is how do i get an image that can be put exactly where i want it....That's it...I want to know the right code for placing an image on the page at set co-ordinates...I hope this code can be cut and pasted for every image i have aswell...
Thankyou.... |

Web pages aren't images. It's better to design them as web pages than to design them as images.

Furthermore, to expand on Darin's comment, what you seek is literally impossible.
How would you possibly establish the exact location on a screen to display an image when all screens are different? Follow along with me here... let's say that you are looking at a 15" monitor with a 1024x768 resolution, and I'm looking at a 22" monitor with a 1680x1000 resolution. My monitor has potential locations that do not exist on yours, and if we design only for yours it will only take up a fraction of the screen on mine. In addition to that, search engines cannot index content within an image, so you'd never get any visits from people wanting to read whatever you are trying to share. Finally, you need to be very very careful about taking advice from various web authoring tutorials on the web as they are often written by amateurs who provide... shall we say... incorrect advice.

You can use images, but as backgrounds for HTML elements with normal content. Using the "background-position" and "background-repeat" properties you should be able to control where they end up and if/how they tile.
