Superimpose text over an image by using CSS-styled text

Idea : superimposed over an image by using CSS-styled text and a background image in a

tag.

The div with the image

.imagediv {
    background-image:  url(/images/backgroundimage.JPG);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    height: 500px;
    width: 380px;
}

Put the text in a div with class "textoverimage"

.textoverimage {
    position: relative;
    height: auto;
    width: auto;
    left: 25px;
    top: 200px;
}
