[challenge entry] goddamnit
sorry for the biggity


about 2 years ago i did some brushwork of zombies and their arch enemies the robots, which quickly just turned into musings on zombies. it's true, you know. first in the series of 9, which can be found when going to zombie chronicles at the sketch frame, part of the 'web-site'



From the Zombies! challenge. See all 592 entries (closed)

# that is a genius drawing
although big

tj: anyone know how to get text to go over an image in css?

# dunno if it's any use
but the way i do it is by setting the class or element to use the image as a background in the css, then just add the text in the html (or something like that - booze is addling my brain)

# css rocks
tables suck big time, but try telling that to some web designers who have been using tables for years

# you got that right
I am currently designing my site in css but all my past sites have been using tables, css is far easier once you get used to it

# i love tables

# I got that
but when I try to set where the text goes with a margin it moves the bg too

# what's the css?
here's an example i use

#contentheader {
height: 100px;
background-image: url(images/banner.jpg);
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 9px;
text-align: right;
}

then in the html

<div id="contentheader">some text</div>

# ah
I aligned the text to centre and now it works fine, but for some reason the bg image repeats about 2 pixels

# ok
fixed it with a no-repeat

# just put a layer over the top of the image
:o)
