Is there anyway to "lock" text over the top of an image?

The web is www.paintedcanyonranch.com

I need the text to stay over the box that I have on the page. If this isn't
possible, how should I be doing this?

Thank you,
Kevin Kitchen
 
The text over the bottome .gif. Text starts out saying, " Boarding, Training
and Breeding".

There is no way to do this reliably. Once you get it positioned, someone
will come along and increase the size of the text in their browser, and you
are horked. And - your page is right out of line anyhow in my IE6 viewport.
The horses are overlapping the right-hand border, and it gets worse as the
viewport dimensions change.

This is aggravated by your use of layers on the page. Please read this page
to see what the problems are -

Thanks Murray,

What's your saying is that the only way to do this is to base all the text
in html (period). Search engines cannot scan images for text (which is why
I'd attempted layers).

Boxes and shadowing don't come out nearly as nice looking via FP'03...or am
I doing that wrong too?

Hmm - well, I'm not sure I follow your train of thought here. In general,
there is no way to reliably superimpose text on images since the text can
always be resized by the visitor, and that will undoubtedly hurt your
superimposition.

And definitely, text in images cannot be spidered.

I'm not sure what you are describing here, either. HTML is HTML, regardless
of what authoring system you have used to create it. But HTML has no
facility for doing boxes or shadows. That would be done in your Graphics
editing program before putting the image on the HTML page - is that what you
mean?
