What I DO need is this: I have a list of possible portions of text that I
would like to 'float' on a singular image. What this means is that I don't
want to have to make a copy of the image for every possible piece of text.
The text will be chosen at random from a list and placed in a table ontop
of an image. I realize that this may not be possible in any way (I know
it's not via legal HTML) but if there is some way to 'hack' this I'd
much perfer some 'illegal' HTML than 50+ images of the same damn thing
just differing text.

but it amuses me.

Sorry, but there are only two things that you can do: make a background image
and use the Netscape extenstions to place the text juuuust right, or else
write a program to generate a GIF based on the TEXT (yuk).

Or get ImageMagick (Unix) and/or PBMplus, and generate an image of the
text on-the-fly and combine it with the underlying image.

Nope. There is a way. And it's not prett: as bugs in Netscape go this
is one of the nastier ones.
Right. Say you want to print "blurgh" on top of a jpeg "blah.jpg".
<table><tr><td><img align=left
src="blah.jpg"></td><td>blurgh</td></tr></table>
There ya go.
