Guest	I'm assuming you need divs because the navigation and blog are below the image right? CODE <div id="Pickaname" style="width:#; height:#; margin-top: ##px; margin-left: ##px; BACKGROUND:#ColorNumber; overflow:auto;"> You have to find out the height and width of the text box on the images and use this code to move that box around on top of the image. You position it by changing the numbers for margin-top and margin-left. It might take a while to position it correctly. You can also use negative numbers if positive one do not work. I don't see a background for some reason.

You'll find me in your dreams. Group: Official Member Posts: 8,536 Joined: Mar 2005 Member No: 114,010	When you're using a background, the background is placed slightly off-set to the image, and you have to use a div layer to pull the image over by about eight-ish pixels. Usually anyways. -shrug-
