sunnny, that is not what i am trying to do.

 i want a text BOX where people can input stuff and i want this to be a form input box .

sorry for confusion
I guess you are building some web page or something similar ...

In that case, you can consider setting your image as background of the page and creating a text box (form) on that page ... In other words, text box will not  be a part of the image (graphics) but just a component of your overall web page

If you are using html, you can use a WYSIWYG editor or other tools to design the page

You mean like http://www.artcenter.edu/home/index1b.html finnstone?
It's just a matter of slicing up the image, and leaving spaces for input fields in the tables.
yes

what do u mean though. why is slicing have to do anythgn with this?

 what tables should i create? how can i create a table in the html page in the exact spot where the gif image lies?
Are you familiar with using Slices in ImageReady and Photoshop? If not, check out the manual pages which tell you what slices are, what they do, and how to use them. When you export to HTML, the slices will create tables which can be used as a layout tool for HTML. Use the tables, to place your forms.

Use a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) html editor like MS frontpage and your task will get considerably easier
