hyperlink an area

[pieandpeas]

Hi,
i have a page made up of images within a table, set as backgrounds.

in front of the different images on the page there is text.

How can i hyperlink the area relative to the size of the image, even if the text showing infront of the image, and the image is a background.

for example

its a square image, set as a background, which is colour and pattern.
there is text shown within this image.

- basically i want to know if its possible to hyperlink these background images.. including the text in the foreground.

any help would be great. thanks
