negative margins

Expand Post »
Hi

I have some pictures and I want to have a piece of text, like a label, for each one. I have tried floating both image and paragraph (<p>) and then assigning a negative margin to the <p> and setting its z-index: 100

but it continues to say below the image.

how do I get it ontop?

thanks

Re: negative margins

Post some code that we can read, however, it should look something like
<div>
<p>Your text here</p>
<img.../>
</div>

Re: negative margins

Well if you had set the p's z-index to 100 then it should work but anyway you could just add text with an image editor(Gimp, inkscape).
