Not sure if anyone can help but here goes...

I have an image on my page and a text box i want to be able to add the text in a selected font style and then apply it to the image

Any suggestions would be appreciated, may be able to get some sleep

If I understand what you are asking correctly, it doesn't make any sense.

How can you expect to add text to a box on a page and have it's style reflected in a graphic image.

If I'm misunderstanding you, please explain further.

sorry i didnt make it clear

I want a user to add text which is shown on an image but so that they can alter the font style and colour etc then it be updated on the image

A site I have found doing something simialr is:http://www.tshirtstudio.com/personal...-shirts-br.asp
I dont want to do it on clothing but want to show an image with the text and an image that the user requests

Thanks for your help

If you look at the code behind the page whose link you gave, there is some sophisticated stuff going on here with quite a bit of server side processing and updating the image.

Are you up for this sort of coding or can what you want to achieve be done with manipulating css styling for example.

What sort of images are you talking about and what is the purpose of the user added text?

You could use an old technique, it's not exactly logical but I have used it in desperate cases, set the image as a background and make it unbreakable with a bit of work and then write in the DIV for example:

HTML: Select all

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.class{
        background-image: url(images/image_01.gif);
}
--!>
</style>



<div class="class">Text on Image!</div>

Please bare in mind this has a tendency to mess up severly.

Also what you want seems to be some ASP, Javascript, AJAX script which would have to be sent to the server and create the text on the image in which would result in a hell of a lot of code.
