OK, I've done the hard bit, designed a website using Fireworks MX, optimsed the graphics then exported the whole 9 yards to Dreamweaver.

I was told that writting copy text in Dreamweaver is a simple as writting on the page. Not if you have Sh*t for brains - like I seem to have right now.

Briefly, I have created a site which includes a coloured background, layered on top of this is an image created using the freeform pen tool, for example, a coloured square with a textured fill and raised bevel edge, thus giving the impression that it stands proud of the background, so far so good.

The idea is to place text within the coloured textured square. This is where the problem comes in, after slicing the page in Fireworks I was given the option to change the export settings for each slice of the site as either HTML or an Image.

If I opted for HTML, the result was the coloured square vanished leaving just the original background colour when viewed in Dreamweaver. If I opted for Image, the result is that the graphic is still in tact but I can not write any copy text on top of the image?.

I hope to convert all this to CSS for future editing but I need to overcome this issue before I progress to the next stage.

Any ideas ????

The easiest way to enter the text on top of an image is to create a table and then set your image as the background for the table. This should be pretty simple in dreamweaver. If you have sliced the image create a table with a number of cells and set the background of each cell to be the right part of the image.

EDIT - If you look at the rentoliva site in my signature that is how I put the small text on top of the title picture, at the top right of the page.

have you tried pasting the text within the Preformatted text <pre> </pre> tags?
