Text on 2nd bgimg!

[kitari]

Okay, I have 2 bgimgs, and I want to make it so that the text I have overlayed on the second bg image has a margin all around it. Can anyone help me?

This is my first post about css, so if I'm not making sense, let me know.

K! What category should I have put it under? And, can you help me out? I'm really getting frustrated with it.

Let me see if I understand you correctly... You want to have an outline around some text that you are positioning over a background image via CSS? If I do understand you correctly then, I don't believe that is possible with plain CSS. You could always add the text to the background image and add the outline in your imaging program.

However, if you wish to get more complicated, I think I have an idea. You could have two layers with the same text. Position one above the other via CSS positioning and z-index. Then make the text in the back a larger size than the text in the front. That should give you the effect of an outline.

Does that help at all?

Actually, as strange as it may sound.....even though you and I weren't talking about the same thing....it gave me an idea. Thank you!
