Is it possible to have text in a table cell that already has an image in it? Or is the only way to have an image behind a specific area of text with CSS?

thanks

You can add text over an image using a table. For example:

<TABLE BORDER="0" cellpadding="0" CELLSPACING="0">
<TR>

<TD WIDTH="221" HEIGHT="300" BACKGROUND="image.jpg" VALIGN="bottom">

<FONT SIZE="+1" COLOR="yellow">Text over image here</FONT></TD>

</TR>
</TABLE>

The above would add the image, with the text in yellow over the bottom of the image.

Is this what you were looking to do?

You can do something even more interesting, you can use one image, say a .jpeg as a background and use a transparent .gif as the cell image, making the body of the .gif transparent and the text visible. You can get very stylistic with the .gif. If you use javascript you can make the text appear on mouseover.
