Is there an html tag that allows you to have
text over an image?

Use layers. The first layer is the image, the second layer contains the text and is placed over the first layer.

Or you can use a table containing just one cell which has the image as background.

Good luck,

Thank you for your reply message on text formatting. You mentioned to use layers
when overlaping an image with text. I have an HTML book that mentions that Netscape
is the only browser that supports this. Any thoughts?

You also said that a one cell table with the image as the background would work. Question:
I can then put regular HTML text after the table? or before the table?

Thanks for your input.
