 * Hi,
 * I’m making a website, and in the homepage there is a background picture, and 
   I’d like some text to be between two elements of the picture.
    Now I defined 
   the background picture to be 100% of the page, no matter what is the monitor 
   resolution, so I figured the size of the text should be in percentage too. But
   when I try it, it’s making the percentage of the original size. Does anyone have
   any idea how to make it? I would really be grateful!
 * Thanks,

 * might be a question for a general CSS forum like [http://csscreator.com/forum](http://csscreator.com/forum)
 * you will need to provide more information like a link to your site to illustrate
   the problem.
