Text behind Images
Hey,

Does anyone know the code to place html text behind an image?

This is so that images with non-web fonts can be found by search engines. The text is coded under the image with use of divs/css

I have seen this before but cant recreate it

If you specify an "alt" attribute in the img tag, that will be the text that displays if the image isn't shown:

<img src="blah" alt="This is an image">

Peace...

Yeh that's all you need, an alt tag. When you search in Google Images that text is the text from the alt tag. Not text behind the image.

Less relevant to what you're after is the title attribute, which can be used to provide additional information about an element using a tooltip. It shouldn't replace the alt attribute though.
