    I couldn't find the right place for this so I just post it here...
    Anyway Iam currently working on my first template ever. I allready designed it and sliced it but know I have a question:
    How can I add a text to the marked field? (screnshot) is it even possible? If not does anyone know a other way how I can do it?

    You gotta turn that image into a background image.
    Let's say you have the following in your code to define the image.

    Code:
    <td colspan="2">
    [img]blablablabla.jpg[/img]</td>
    So then you have to change that code around a bit

    Code:
    <td valign="top" background="blablablabla.jpg" alt="Main bg"></td>
    And now you'll be able to type on the image. The valign="top" is justto have the text cursor start at t he top left of the image. If you don't add this, you'll start typing on the middle left of the image.

    Not really... it's not like I'm any better :P

    Theoretically, you should dip into CSS. It's become the standard for manipulating presentation, as my teacher put it on thurs. With the web developer add-on, I've noticed a lot of websites that do pretty much everything in CSS. If you disable it, the websites only have the content left, and all of it is aligned to the default positions (unless it's poorly done, like my college's site). My bank's website looks pretty hideous if you disable the css :lol:

    And thank you SP for answering that :D. I'm trying to learn a lot all at once, so you helped me too, who missed that bit of info :).
