Picture in CSS....

[NoteMe]

I am pretty new to CSS. And have got a school assignment where a group of 4 persons are supposed to make a page about them self.

We are all going to make our own stylesheets that can be used on all of the four pages. What I was wondering about is if I can add a picture to the document using CSS. If I can I can use pictures on the other 3 members web sites even if they don't have that picture there. Is that possible using CSS?

AFAIK, it is only really possible to define the source of an image for things like the background of table elements or the body.

edit: examples of what you can do: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_examples.asp

I have all ready looked at that page.......maybe I have to ask them to add my pictures on their site, and then just hide it......I really want this to work,...

What exactly are you trying to do? maybe you should be using JavaScript instead.

You could do that. Just have a div region that is hidden.

If I could I would just have used Dreamweaver and get it done....but since this is a class project I am strictly limited to only use HTML/XHTML/CSS...

Forgot to tell...what I am trying to do is that I have a picture like a frame that I want around the text. Something like this maybe if ouy look at the top picture and the left and the right and the bottom picture as a "frame" of pictures.

use background cell images in a table.

But then all the pages have to have cells don't they? So then we are back again with the same problem...
