I am in desperate need of help in CS3

[Pookumz]

I'm trying to build a site and I'm starting to think that what I want is not possible.

I have an image that I want to base the site design around. This image does not cover the entire screen so I can't use it as the background image. I want to be able to place things over the image so I can't use it in a form field (unless you can place a form over a form..which I don't think you can).

I guess my question is...in CS3 can you make the main content section an image background different than what your "background" image is...I want to keep the background black.

I tried using a liquid design with the background black. I then used a form to place my image in...I tried to use floats to enter the rest of the information that I wanted over the image...but on different monitors the floats stayed put while the form and background was flexible.

To say the least I am frustrated and I am ready to throw my computer out the window. Please save my computer from destruction!

I do apologize if I misunderstand you, I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what you're saying! I'll give it a try, though!

If you have a design in photoshop and you have finished using the "slice" tool to define the different sections of the layout, and you take and "Save for web," finish up and go to the folder CS3 made, open the .html in dreamweaver. You will have, if you did things right, sliced out a square where you want your content to be located. CS3 will set up the code like this:

<td>
<img src="images/Untitled-4_01.gif" width="59" height="47" alt=""></td>

This segment is the cell (Marked by the td and /td tags) that you want your content to be located. You want to remove that .gif from the top layer so you can put content in, but you want that image visible and things "ontop" of the image! We need to use it as a background for the cell! How do we do that? Delete the image, so things will look like this! (Same code)

<td background="images/Untitled-4_01.gif">
			This is with text over the image!</td>

With ANY cell you can use the "background" to define a few things. You can set the background color to whatever you want. For further details, go ahead and head over w3schools.com : HTML Tables and that'll help you lots! Hope this helps, and I do apologize in advance if I've misunderstood you!
