im tying to build a website for a project at university but seem to have fallen at the first hurdle.....i've place a jpeg as the background image of the site and plan to add buttons on top but its just not having it! the button will not sit on the image instead it will either go above of bellow(around the frame).
ive done all kinds of goggle searching but found nothing......if anyone could advise me it would be great.

personally - i'd drop a table in and then in the 'inspector' window select a 'bgimage'. But basically you need your image to actually be set as a background image, otherwise it sits on the same layer as your buttons.
If you intending to learn a bit of HTML (the basics are very easy) I would recommend, the 'visual quickstart guide to HTML' book, it's a great way to get to grips with the coding which, as far as I'm concerned, is an essential backbone to learning dreamweaver and really controlling your pages.

You could set the image as a background with CSS also.

do it properly, use css to style and navigation should be done using a list with div's if you want fancy pants graphics

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
