Cynthia,

This works for HTML output format, but not for PDF(for me). Am I doing anything wrong ?

Hi,

This way the image is going behind the report area. It is visible only where there is no data.

Hi,

Do you want the image to be present all the time? If yes then with the example the data and the image shows. What you can do for the watermark effect is maybe adjust the colors of your image for them to be as light was possible therefore not affecting readability...

Cynthia,

For me the image is going under the report (it is not visible).

Actually this is working. Thanks a lot Alan. Thank you very much Cynthia.

I used 
 
$
TYPE=REPORT,
OBJECT = IMAGE,
IMAGE=WATERMARK.JPG,
POSITION = (2 2),
,

(Cynthia,
Part of my problem [image going behind the report] was caused by the style sheet I was using.)

Would making the data's background style = TRANSPARENT help, so that the image would shine through the data ?

TRANSPARENT

or the other way around...
make the gif a transparent one
and a very light gray
and then it will lay on top of the report
a good idea for things like
'DRAFT'

Right.
Depends on which is in the foreground.

Does WF have a 'Move to Back' or 'Move to Front' ?

I think that whichever is in front being transparent accomplishes what shravan originally wanted to do ?

if your output is ONLY html
then you can use html language, and absolute positioning to put the image on the output first, with a zindex of , say, -1, and the table on the output on top with a zindex of , say, 1.

There really isn't much concept of move to back or move to front. The order things appear in the stylesheet basically determine the order that things are overlayed. An object placed nearest the end of a stylesheet would overlay an earlier object if size/position/color conflicted.
