Hi,

Is it possible to move text elements over page and save their position?

Picture in attachment shows one part of my page. This page could be printed without background image (paper in printer looks like background image). I want to move text elements over page so text elements, after printing, could fit any document similar to background image.

Thanks.

I am not sure what you are talking about.

If you want to change element's position for printing, that you want to use a media print style sheet. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/goingtoprint/

If picture on printing paper is changed (data fields remain the same), printing wont be good because text will be printed over margins. So, my client want ability to move text fields on HTML page and to fit them to new picture on paper.

Have you looked at drag and drop?
