Float/position textbox/table over image

I have a box of text that I would like to position over an image for an email blast.

Now, email clients don't like the following: css, position (absolute or relative), background image in a table or td. (Gmail is my nemesis)... Now, I could chop up the image and stick it in various table cells around the cell with the text, but that's is time consuming.

Any suggestions?

Hi there,

Unfortunately, most email clients don't support any CSS, so your best bet is to use a table-based layout and split up your background image accordingly, and then use <td background="yourimagepart.gif"> on each cell in the table.
