HTML Question

This is in regards to tables. Today I learned something new. Well basically what I learned today is that you can insert a "background picture" and have text over it.

Like say I can have a rectangle box about 100x50 pixels and I could actually add text over it and when people look at it it would be a box with text inside of it nicely orginized. What I need to know is how to add text to the already made background picture.

If you don't quite understand what I've written, then please feel free to PM me thanks.
 
<table width="xx" background="image.gif">
<tr>
<td>text goes over the background</td>
</tr>
<table>

You dont really add text to the background. The size of the background image is only as big as the space the text fills... ie, the table collaspes....
 
Just be careful with the images you put into the table backgrounds (avoid
putting any at all if you can help it), as some picture/font color combinations
will make it difficult if not impossible to read the text. Just my opinion.
