I mostly do winforms development, but once in a while I have a need to work with webpages.
I need to create a small site that is only about 4 pages, and the site itself will be very simple.
My question is, I want to use a fairly large image as the background of the site, and there is a section on this image that is blank, and I want to have an HTML text area there (not textarea as in the HTML element, just an area where I can do HTML, it could be a DIV tag or whatever is best).
This area will include the links to the other pages as well as some text info, etc...
To illustrate what I am trying to do, I attached a screenshot. I have made a few attempts to do this in both dreamweaver and Visual Studio but my lack of expertise in web layouts is showing...
I tried using absolute positioning, I tried using tables setting pixel width, etc... However I can't seem to get it just right for both Firefox and IE. (table moves around when page is resized, etc...) I also want the page to be centered and built for 800x600 minimum res.
What HTML tags/properties are my best bet for this?
