I am trying to place a scroller over the top of an image. Is this possible? I would also like the scroller to be able to pick up what needs to put said in the scroller from a MYSQL database.

Is it possible

A) to define a place on an image of where you want the scroller to be like you can do with hot linking.

B) to take text from a MYSQL database and place it in the scroller

Look forward to your views

By scroller, do you mean a marquee?
You could put the marquee in a DIV and position it over an image.
Putting the MySQL data in the marquee would work fine... just write the content in between the tags like this: <marquee>Write your stuff here!</marquee>

Would you be able to provide a sample so i coudl see it working using a div?

Code:

<div><marquee>Write your stuff here!</marquee></div>

There are also samples on the page I linked to.

You want it over top of an image? I'd have to see how your image is placed, placement could be problematic. Do you have some sample code?

Code:

<table width=700 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 bordercolor=black border=1>

<tr><td><img src="banner.gif"></td></tr>
</table>

This is the basic layout of it!

I don't have IE6 to test it on, but how about this:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

	<head>
		<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
		<title>Untitled Page</title>
		<style type="text/css" media="screen">
			<!--
#containDiv {
	width: 700;
	border: 1px black solid;
	position: relative;
}

#containDiv marquee {
	position: absolute;
	bottom: 0px;
	right: 0px;
	z-index: 10
	}

-->
		</style>
	</head>

	<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
		<div id="containDiv"><img src="(EmptyReference!)" alt="" height="50" width="700"><marquee>Write your stuff here!</marquee></div>
	</body>

</html>

You can put the div in a table if you want, or just use the containDiv
