    Default Background Image Help

    I have a .png file that i want to set as my background image. This image contains color, text, and other small things. The text is things like, "Username:, Password:, Login" when i import this file and set it as my background and try and add text fields to correspond with the right text it is a very challenging thing. Finding the right combo of tables seems almost impossible. And even when i make it look right, it doesnt look right when i upload it to the web, or view it on a different browser or a computer with a different resolution. Am i going about this in a poor way? Or is this just what i need to do?
    Thanks

    so you have a background image for the entire form... and you're trying to make the background image include the input areas itself?

    If so, you'll never get it to work correctly in all browsers/resolutions...

    rather, you should style the input areas via css and give them a background image which will match up to the background of the entire form itself.

    Correct i have one background image for the entire page consisting of a gradient and other tweeks. I also included the labels for input information. Im not sure what you mean, or how i would, style the input areas in css. I have never used css before and not sure the capabilities of it.
    Help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Maybe you could try making a transparent image, then set that as the input button etc. background. Not sure if it will work though.
