If you wish to have an element on top of an image (e.g. an icon to trigger an activity), it would be nice to do something along the lines of <img src="whatever.png" alt="something"> <div style="position: relative; left: 5%; top: 5%; width: 45%; height: 45%; background-color: green; opacity: 0.8;">something</div> </img> (Replacing the img with a div with the image set as background-image works for placing the inner div, but there doesn't seem to be a way to force the div to have the exact size of the image without JavaScript.) 81238 1 robin 2013-01-11 13:30:21 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

Using script in order to solve this does not strike me as a major problem, but at any rate a better solution would come from CSS.
