Is there a way to use use text as the background with CSS?

Question

I would like to use dynamic text as background of certain elements in my tag. Because of this, I can use images (dynamic text). How do I do it with just CSS or JavaScript?

Answer 1

You can have an absolutely positioned element inside of your relative positioned element:

#container {
   position: relative;
}

#background {
   position: absolute;
   top: 0;
   left: 0;
   bottom: 0;
   right: 0;
   z-index: -1;
   overflow: hidden;
}

<div id="container">
    <div id="background">
    Text to have as background
    </div>
    Normal contents
</div>

Here's an example of it.
