Hi,

Is it possible to display static HTML text on top of an image? (but not the background image)

the reason im asking this is because i am looking to find a solution on printing my HTML pages with text on top of an image and traditionaly i think the only way to do it is to set the image as a background, but in this case my background image will not come in printed paper.

maybe there is a way of doing this in css? or javascript?

Thanks in advance
