It seems that even when I set position, top, left, on everything it still puts the image above the table and won't overlap them. I'm wondering if images and tables aren't capable of using the z-index attribute.
Also it now seems when I try to use Divs instead of a table that Divs refuse to go behind the image either. I'm wondering if this whole project is a bust. I've tried putting the image in the div, I've tried giving the image and the div the z-index info, I've tried making the image the background of the Div. No such luck. And I know you can theoretically make the IMG have a z-index property. I just don't know why it won't work.
