I am making a site using fireworks and dreamweaver.......but im a total newby with dreamweaver.....

I made the site in fireworks - sliced it - and imported it into dreamweaver


there is a section I have for text, there is a background i want to keep.

I have put that slice in as a background - but now my problem is how do i add a text field on top that can scroll


so that i can put like 3000 characters in that section?

i been testing things trying to find the answer......i put a text field in there and set the character and the lines but i cant change the bg of that box or the font.....

hope this makes sense.......and i really hope someone can help

thanks

use styles:

put this into your textarea tag:

style="background-image:yourImage.jpg;"
