How do you set a Cell's background as an image in Dreamweaver?

[chrisnrach17]

I've just started using Dreamweaver having changed from Frontpage.

I created the site in Photoshop and then opened it in Dreamweaver.

There are parts on the page where I need to be able to type on top of images on the page. In Frontpage you just changed the image to a cell background which then let you type over it.

Can anyone tell me how to do the same in Dreamweaver?

Thanks in advance

ok I figured it out - just deleted the image and entered it's path in th Bg field in the properties.

problem is though that doing this throws the layout of the page out - gaps start appearing etc.

is there any way round this?

sorted it by specifying the h x w of the cell.

Was just going to suggest that, also, if you're using CSS it can be done through that as well.
