Hi Guys...
Is this a no,no..... placing an image on to a shape. I did read keeping text boxes and images seperate but wondered if this sort of thing would be ok.

Example.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

When I layer things like this, I group them to make sure they don't shift in different browsers – just to play it safe :)

This is just for your convenience in the design screen making it easy to move a mass of objects around maintaining there spacing. It has no affect on the code produced by VSD.:)

Interesting. I wonder why the un-grouped ones will shift and the grouped ones don't?

Put the background in VSD and the image on top

Then preview the page, put curser right on the edge of the background, and do save image as

Then its all tacked together as one image, and you can use it to replace the original image + background
