How do I position a layer holding a background image behind text in a HTML document occupying the same position?

I wish my layers to hold backgound images, but the layers are positoned over the text and I don't know how to position the back.

Thanks.
 
if the text is in its own layer simply go to windows>layers and put the background image layer behind the text layer....but why would you do this its much easier with tables and css

deecee,

The text is not in its own layer. It's in the HTML.

I would do this apart from tables because I don't want the images to tile as they would using the background="" command.

So I still need an answer.
 
use css

make a new css template for your document and go to background
there where it says repeat go to no repeat this way the background image will stay still the whole time when you scroll then just apply that style to the whole document.
