The lack of response would seem to imply that your request wasn't  
very clear.  In fact, I find it hard to guess what you are asking.

Guess 1: you want to create a component with text fields and an  
image.  If you know how to create and use partial page components,  
just do it.  If you don't... create a new component, and use the  
inspector on the body to set it to a "Partial document".  Insert it  
into other pages by using the Dynamic menu, "Custom" option - type in  
the name you gave your component.  Otherwise, the contents are just  
html.

Guess 2: you want to create text fields "above" an image - that's a  
css problem, see layers.

Guess 3: you really wanted to know how this would interact with the  
main page component, but forgot to ask.  The answer is through  
bindings, exactly the same as with WebObjects built-in dynamic  
components.

All of these seem rather obvious answers; perhaps you meant something  
else entirely?
