    copied!<p>You can apply background images to images using CSS, then use a load of transparent .png images for the letters.</p> <p>I mocked it up:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt; &lt;title&gt;Untitled Document&lt;/title&gt; &lt;style type="text/css"&gt; img.leaves { background:url("leaves.png"); } img.lights { background:url("lights.png"); } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function makeText() { var text = document.getElementById('text').value.toUpperCase(); var pattern = document.getElementById('pattern').value; for(var i=0; i&lt;text.length; i++) { var img = document.createElement('img'); img.src=text[i]+'.png'; img.className=pattern; document.getElementById('textArea').appendChild(img); } return false; } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;form onsubmit="return makeText();"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;label for="text"&gt;Enter your text&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="text" id="text" size="20"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;label for="pattern"&gt;Choose a pattern&lt;/label&gt; &lt;select id="pattern"&gt;&lt;option value="leaves"&gt;Leaves&lt;/option&gt;&lt;option value="lights"&gt;Lights&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/select&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;input type="submit" value="Make!"&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;div id="textArea"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>and you can also <a href="http://www.subdimension.co.uk/files/1/SO/letters.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">see it in action</a>.</p> <p><a href="http://www.subdimension.co.uk/files/1/SO/A.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">alt text http://www.subdimension.co.uk/files/1/SO/A.png</a> &lt; this is one of the letter cutouts (difficult to see!)</p> <p><a href="http://www.subdimension.co.uk/files/1/SO/leaves.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">alt text http://www.subdimension.co.uk/files/1/SO/leaves.png</a> and one of the background patterns.</p> <p>I got bored at G, so you can only write words that contain the letters a-g, it's also a little lazy in that it only does upper case and there are only 2 patterns but hopefully it should be enough to give you an idea</p>
