heres my issue. i can design most of my site in phtoshop and import the pages with slices, etc.

however how can i input text and image files on top of my image, without it displacing everything. i have tried the bg image, however this tiles the background, any ideas on how to get rid of that.

what i want to be able to do is create the structure of the site in pshp, and add text on top, to edit easily,
heres the sight im working on

Hi Joe

Looking at what you've done, I think the best plan is to use CSS to prevent your page background repeating, then place a table on the page, divided into the sections where you can put your text and images.

So place the following in the <head> of your code:

<style>
body {
background-image: url(images/yourimage.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>

Alternatively, go for full standards compliant CSS, a subject well covered on the net(however a bit of a learning curve if you're new to it).
