Text over stretched image, Text over stretched image text alignment problem Options

[gor182]

Hello,

I'm a total newbie when it comes to web design and I am using frontpage 2003.

I wanted an image file as a full screen background, I achieved this by building a table(or layer) and making the image stretch to 100% on the table or layer width.

My problem is that when I put text over it, and resize the browser, the text moves about while the background is staying static, this is a problem as I want text over certain parts of the full screen image.

Is there any way to achieve the desired effect without the text moving?

Thanks,

Gordon.

Placing content over specific areas of a background image is a fragile way to design page layout. It's even more fragile when the background image is really a content image that has been resized.

I recommend starting over, and giving each area of the page its own background, using techniques similar to this:
