Html tables please help!

[Keeper]

lol, love the sig Raithlin!


I got another question - is it possible to add text above an image contained it the cell?
PS: the image can not be the Cells Background - it needs to be a regular image because the image contains a hyperlink.

basically, you have 200x200px tables that "word-wrap" / "stack automatically", and in each table is a pic, and above that image is text. possible?

Where in the source is the text situated? Before or after the image?

I haven't done it yet as I don't know if it's possible...
is it possible to "layer" stuff on top of each other?

PS: just a heads up here, i'm using lame-ass Frontpage, with a bit of manual coding here and there - i'm not really into html coding heheh

If the text is added before the image in the source it should render before the image in the browser...

 

[Keeper]

no, you guys are not understanding - I mean above, as in, "on top" of the image.......in front - Z Axis - a New Layer.

 

[Raithlin]

Yeah, it's possible. Using relative positioning, I think. Whether it will work in IE6 <spit> is another matter though.

 

[FarligOpptreden]

That's also possible, but with CSS "hacks" to alter the positioning of the elements. You'll have to wrap the text in a SPAN or something similar in order to position it though...

EDIT: Raithlin with his Ninja-speed replies... Anyway, he stated earlier in the thread that the application he's building uses IE4 controls to render the markup, so I'd add a gargle or 10 to that <spit> of yours.

@FarligOpptreden:

Anyway, here are a few links to get you positioning correctly:
