Do not *twitch* use *twitch* tables *twitch* for layout... *twitch*. Tables kill little kittens. Anyway, to your question:
pleaseremove is right. You need to have put the text in a div tag. Your website is probably like this:
| Code: |
<html> <head> ... </head> <body background=something.gif> My text here!!! </body> </html> |
You need to put your text in a <div> tag ("division") to set it apart from the other elements of the web page. By using pleaseremove's code:
| Code: |
| <div style="background-image:url('someimage.gif');">some text</div> |
you change the background of whatever is in that <div> tag. <div> tags also have very precise control over what they do. If you want to get into web page design, I would recommend you go through this tutorial to learn CSS.
