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: ... background=something.gif> My text here!!! You need to put your text in a tag ("division") to set it apart from the other elements of the web page. By using pleaseremove's code: Code: some text you change the background of whatever is in that tag. 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.
