How to tie an image to text

    Is it possible to have an image tied to text so that no matter what the size of someone’s computer screen the image and text stay aligned properly?

    I want to add the dots that appear under my last name as images but when I align them using my laptop they are slightly off when viewed on my desktop which is a smaller screen.

    I’m thinking I can just make my entire name an image with dots included but would prefer not to do that. If, however, I do have to do that, again how do I have it align consistently like the rest of my similar headings?

    See dots under my last name SOREMEKUN near top of page

    Thanks for the input

    Create something like this:

    <h2>KAI OLABISI ABOSEDE <span class="lineundername">SOREMEKUN</span></h2>

    and attach it as background to this span.

    Hey Peter ~

    Once again thanks for the help.

    I tried what you suggested but it resulted in SOREMEKUN taking on the style attributes of my h2 span class. I guess I should have put the php code in my initial post.

    But at least it got me headed in the right direction…

    Who knows if what I ended up doing is the best/proper way. But with the caveat that I have limited experience, here is what I did should anybody else have the same need and circumstances.

    <h2>KAI OLABISI ABOSEDE<span><b>WHO</b></span></h2><h6><span>SOREMEKUN</span></h6>

    CSS

    h6 {
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:11px;
text-transform : uppercase;
line-height : 15px;
position : relative;
margin : 0 0 10px 0;
}

h6 span {
background-image:url(images/dot1.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
position:absolute;
top : -38px;
right:222px;
}
