There are actually several problems.

Inline elements are about 250 Kb (HTML file is only 1½ Kb), which is pretty much to download with a modem connection.

Text is almost impossible to read (and I've got good eyesight), text is not scaleable.

There is absolutely no textual content for a search engine to index.

And to answer your question: Position the HTML input and textarea boxes using CSS. :)

If you get a chance, check back tomorrow and see how my improvements look.

Thanks so much for your help!

Sorry, but Photoshop is probably the worst thing to do your sites in. You may consider using a mix of Photoshop and html, perhaps, as this will allow you to control your graphics but also use scalable and sharp text. I suggest you do the form in HTML, or the likes. :)

Yeah....I figured that out...bummer. But, I have the entire Macromedia Suite, so Im mixing Dreamweaver and Fireworks instead.

Thanks so much!

For other PS lovers...yes you can put text over images in Dreamweaver. Simply go to the Layout menu and draw a layer over your image...

Easy as pie...

Schweeeeet.
