copied!<p>I know an answer has been accepted, but really? Using jQuery or javascript for such a simple task is way overkill when it can be done easily and <strong>IS</strong> generally done with CSS. </p> <p>First off, the <code>align=""</code> property in html is deprecated. Also, why adding <code>top, left, margin, & margin-left</code> properties? It's pretty useless to redefine properties that aim to achieve the same thing (especially when some of them don't work because the <code>position</code> isn't relative).</p> <p>Don't use images when you want to display text over it. Instead, use a div with <code>background-image: url('yourimg.png');</code> </p> <p>I made a fiddle here with the correct code, removing any need for javascript, let alone jQuery: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/M4UYx/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/M4UYx/</a></p> <p>Why is this solution way way better?</p> <ol> <li>You don't need an image, if your background is just a color (as in your case)</li> <li>You don't need javascript (and so it is more cross-browser)</li> <li>You certainly don't need jQuery</li> <li>You can position your text or w/e else without worrying about it disappearing on <code>:hover</code></li> </ol> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Although not part of your original question; to center the position of your div, give it these properties:</p> <pre class="lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>.vierkant { position: absolute; left: 50%; margin: 0px -58px; /* -58px = width divided by 2 in negative */ } </code></pre>
