Hi Evlambios,

You could do this a number of ways.

Use a DIV with the image as the background, then anything you type in the DIV tag will appear on top of the picture.

Or use a DIV with the picture inside (IMG tag).
Then another DIV over the top (higher Z index) of the picture's DIV, and type in the second DIV to see the text on top.

Re-edit and save picture to include the text.

Use a table, with the picture as the background of the table or a cell, then type the text into any of the cells.

Hope this helps?

Regards, Rich

Dreamweaver tip:

JumpMenu in new window

When inserting a jumpmenu to a page, the only option available for 'open in' is usually 'main window'. There would be other options available if the page was a frameset.

To change the jumpmenu to open in a new window, change the target parameter of the selectbox in your code to 'window.open()'.

eg.
<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('window.open()',this,0)">
