Solution 2

The only way to 'Show' text on an image is to set a text box with a background image and them type into that.
You can then save the contents of the text box and it's image separately and pull them together each time you need them.

There is no other way as HTML is not a graphics language.

Solution 3

As some folks already said, it is not possible in HTML 4.0

But, if you are using HTML5, you can load the image into a canvas (using drawImage()), then draw text on the canvas (using fillText()).

Solution 1

If you are talking about adding text to an image file, then you can't: HTML does not have any image processing fucntions such as DrawString.

If you aren't, then what are you trying to achieve?
