Desperate need of help in html?

Question

i am working on a web page ( http://xerophytefx.vndv.com/sham/index.html ) and really dont know much about html, anyways, i am trying to place a text box in the gray shaded area of this website. i have tried a ton of different things, like the div thing, but since i centered everything, it moves when you full screen the browser. i also thought that controling the windows size would make it to where i wouldnt have to center everything and then i could use the div thing, but i dont know how to do that either. any suggestions would help alot.

AAAAAAHHHHH you've used a table layout!

What you really want is a CSS/Div layout, it would make things so much better - less code, easy to work with, faster to load:

Anyways, working with what you've got...

I'm not entirely sure what your question is asking.

When you say a "text box" what do you mean, a textarea element or just some text?

And if I am correct that "grey shaded area" is an image and therefore you cannot get text on it unless you do some bad programming (create div and absolute position over the area).

I suggest that you set that image as the background for the cell which it is in and then put your "text box" as innerHTML.

<td colspan="7" style="width:445px;height:385px; background-image:'src(mages/index_14.jpg... ">

Text or <textarea>Textbox</textarea></td>

Good luck,

Colin
