Background image? Z-Index?

[McSak]

I have a template that I'm trying to customize. It has a left sidebanner div and image.

How do I get text to appear on top of the image? By making the image a background-image in CSS? By specifying z-index?

Your help is GREATLY appreciated

as a background:

.sidebar {
  background:url(myimage.gif);
}
