text over images in NS4
- Thread starter desap
- Start date
In Netscape 4, rather than the DIV, the LAYER is used. It is absolutely positioned, and for a link hovering over an image, it does its job just as well as any old DIV.
Personally, though, I would use a TABLE with a BACKGROUND attribute set to the image, then set the table height and width to be the size that the image is. Then, just put text inside the TABLE as if nothing had happened. For things like that, I generally try my best to make it old-fashioned as possible to make sure as many browsers can correctly view the page as possible.
Code:
<layer top="300" left="20">
<div style="position:absolute; top:300; left:20;">
<a href="myPage.html">Click Me!</a>
</div>
