Anyone here use dreamweaver?

Anyone here use dreamweaver? If so, can anyone tell me how to set a picture as a background, so I can type over it? I was following a tutorial, and it really confused me. It said:

To set the images as background (it's a slice) which basically makes you able to write over them, click the picture you would like to set as background, make sure you can see the code too, once you've clicked on the image the code will be highlighted.

Drag that code up to the <td> code, and over write the <img src=whatever.jpg> with background.

That's where I got lost. At first, I thought it meant replace "img src" with "background" but that didn't work.

Can someone tell me how to do this in dreamweaver? Thanks.

EDIT: Ok, nevermind, I figured it out. Sorry You can delete this thread

the easiet way is click on in the design veiw an go to page properties

the more eloquent way is to use CSS

 

[unknowngiver]

right click on the blank page {In the designer view} go to properties n change it from there :D

 

[DJ-Sound]

in design view, set a table, the the properties window, click on the folder that is next to a blank labeled 'Bg image'

Hope that helps!

I don't think you guys understood the problem, sorry. I made the template in photoshop, and I sliced it. Now, I want the body (which is a slice - so it is an image) to become the background, so I can type over it.

What I did was click on the image slice in design mode, then in the code, I changed img src= to background=, and I moved that whole line up one to the proper place. Take a looksey:

<td colspan="2" rowspan="4">
			<img src="images/CONTENT_10.gif" width="427" height="465" alt=""></td>

Then this is what i got to fix it:

<td colspan="2" rowspan="4" background="images/CONTENT_10.gif" width="427" height="465" alt="">>
			</td>

I kept changing the img src to background, but I wasn't moving it up one, as it said in the tutorial (not very clearly).

Thanks for your time, though guys!
