Help!!loading text on image

[lanny]

I'm currently developing an online shirt design website for my coll project...

i'm using xhtml layout and php, to load the user input text, where the text willl be display on center of the tshirt picture.
the text can be display on the xhtml page, but cant adjust to be display on the middle of the image...any solutions for displaying text on an image file?



my xhtml code :
<tr>

<td width="197" height="219"><div align="center"></td>
<td width="197" height="219"><div align="center">
<img src="Images/shirt_grey.jpg" width="240" height="240" /></div>
<?php
if ($_POST['submit'] == "Submit")
{
echo " " . $_POST["usertext"] . "<br/>";
}
?></td>



Thanks in advance!

Do you know CSS? If you do, then just use CSS positioning to put a <div> tag with your text on it over the shirt.

i dont know CSS...is there any tutorial for creating this?

[lanny]

i went through a tutorial and found out the code
" <DIV style="position: absolute; top:511px; left:428px; width:94px; height:24px">text</DIV>"

now, the text can be placed on the shirt...but how to code, if i wanna let user add the text by entering the text on input box, then click on submit button..the text will displayed on shirt.
