ok im new to web design, but im wondering how do you do this:

if you goto http://www.trance.nu then look at their menu

Im wondering, how do you do that???

Is it an image in the backround with writting on top (if so, how do you do that)

or is it done some other way, if anyone could help me that would be great, thanx

that little frame labeled Main Menu?

there's multiple ways to do that... one way is to have a image of the top label where it says Main Menu - http://trance.nu/v3/images/v35/main_menu_Top.gif

and have a footer image - http://trance.nu/v3/images/v35/main_menu_Bottom.gif

and have a small X pixel wide by 1pixel high image that you can set as the background for the middle table cell...

so you have something like

<table>
<tr><td><img src="top-image.gif"></td></tr>
<tr><td background="middle-image.gif">Text Here</td></tr>
<tr><td><img src="bottom-image.gif"></td></tr>
</table>

set the width of the cells too so it will all line up



<td width="100%">...</td>
<td width="100%">...</td>
