Overlapping .jpg's in a table

[Paul Kraemer]

Hi,

I am creating a web page by using a table for layout
purposes. I'm not sure if this is possible, but in one
cell, I'd like to put several .jpg pictures. I'd like to
have precise control of how these pictures are laid out
in the cell, and in some cases I would like them to
overlap each other (where I decide which image is on
top). Is this possible with Frontpage or with standard
HTML? Or is it better to for me to merge the three
images how I want them into one .jpg using Paint Shop Pro
or a similar program?

Thanks,
Paul

You can do this in FrontPage using Layers.
You should understand exactly what a layer is and test it
in several different browsers at different screen
resolutions.
However, a graphics program like PSP is much more powerful
for things like this. You can slice the image up in PSP
when done and it will output the html for the sliced
images to be reassemble using tables.

You can use CSS and absolute positioning to overlap and position images.
However, be aware that all browsers may not display them the same, or
correctly. Most newer ones will. If that is a concern, go with the second
option (combining them in an image editor).
