[thelist] image over text?

Hi Richard,

Well it does help,
So how would that work?
Some thing like - <td><div class="image" ><img src="image.jpg" /></div>
<div class="text'>text goes here</div>
and then the style sheet has
.text  { z-index: 2 }
.image { z-index: 1 } ?

So then how does that degrade if the browser can't handle it? The
client uses (of course) AOL and I can only imagine what that will do
with the CSS
