  2. Add a Static content element and insert picture reference

    top: [OFFSET]px;

 .PAGE_28013 td {
   position: relative;
 }
 #VB_PICTURE { 
   position: absolute; //relative to outer element
   left: 0px; //Upper left corner
   top: 0px;
 }
 #NB_INPUTBOX1 { //Label
   position: absolute; //relative to outer element
   left: 10px;
   top: 10px; //Above input box
 }
 #VB_INPUTBOX1 { //Input
   position: absolute; //relative to outer element
   left: 10px;
   top: 10px;  //Below descriptive label
 }
