I Need A HTML Lesson

[wah_mummy]

Hi my fellow AFW superstars :winner:

Help please.......I need some help with my html coding. I am still developing my skills in this area, so no technical responses please : )

Here is my delema.....

I have a jpg image (optinbackground.jpg) that I want to use as a background for an email opt in form and do not know how to make the image sit to the background and overlay the form on top.

I am using So-Think HTML Editor in case anyone knows that program.....here is the code I have so far for this section of the page (will update image urls once I have it working and uploaded onto my server)

<P align=center><IMG src="seperator.jpg"></P>
<P align=center><IMG src="subscribe_here.jpg"></P>
<P align=center><IMG src="file:///C:/Users/Mum/Desktop/optinbackground.jpg"></P>
<P align=center><IMG src="hottips_incomeearners.jpg"></P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P align=center><IMG src="seperator.jpg"></P>

The image is centered on the page and I would like the form to sit in the middle of my image.....

Thank you in advance all for any tips and advice

Don't understand a thing you have written there...
Try this,
Go to Create Mail
then.. Format -Background-Picture-Brouse-Documents..[to find pic you want]
select picture..Click ok.
Then just change the colour or size of font if needed.

Cherie,I'm with you. Gooble-de-gook on the HTML stuff.

Totally agree on your steps!

Tried to write Gooble-de-gook ten times and gave up..LMAO LMAO

Are you just wanting to style the background of the text box, or the whole form? Do you have an example, not too sure what your trying to do.

Either way, CSS is the best way to do this.

Cherie LMAO I had to think about it s - l - o - w - l - y!

Thanks for trying.....would love to give the css thing a go but I don't know what that is? :hehe:

Guess it's hard to ask a question about something that you don't fully understand in the first place - lol

How about I try again?

I don't need to style the whole page just one section. The image is below it's like a box for the form to sit into. I need to add an autoresponder optin form inside the box. The autoresonder I am using gives me a code to insert where I need to form to go. The form when displayed will look something like this...
