how to put a layer on top?

[diacono]

i'm using div tags with css and came up with this design but i cant seem to be ables to get the logo on top! (ie only). what am i doing wrong? i thought that if you put the z-index to 1 it should solve it... but it didnt!

what am i doing wrong?

Putting the Z-Index to 1 means it will be a layer at the lowest level, so you have to increase the Z-index to the highest number in order to have it displayed above everyother layer.

So say if you have three layers, layer 1 with Z-index 1 for your background image, kayer 2 with Z-index 2 with content above the background image (obviously) and then layer 3 with Z-index 3 with eg. a title graphic.

This did it for me =)

ok... that makes sense, so i tried it out.
i've got a total of 4 layers and put a z-index of 4 for the logo and nothing changed!?

is there a limit, is the limit 3?

[JMulder]

Errr, no limit I think. Ask someone else? I am not a layer expert.

I have a site that uses z-index 100 in the menu script, so I'm guessing that there's no limit... but I'm not an expert either. Just learning this stuff right now.

It looks like the logo is on top to me (using IE refresh).

but do you see the logo on top of the nav bar?? i want to place the logo so that it overlaps the three layers (top, nav, main).

i would need to change the size though...

[diacono]

finally got it working!!
what i did was get rid of all the z-index values except the one for the logo... and then i put the logo div tag right at the end (after all the other layers, otherwise it wouldnt come on top!)

thanx anyway...

diacono...

You can set the z-index of each DIV tag seperately. You don't need to go to all that trouble just to get ONE to work. I would suggest spacing them out by 5 or so (1, 5 ,10, 15) etc. That way you leave yourself room to expand if you need to.

Also, I noticed that your logo does not look right. I see it as ABOVE the "Ministry to Children" header image, but below the tables. I somehow doubt that was your intent. I am using IE 5.5.

ok. cool.
The whole thing is just some sort of experiment... just playing around

i've actually completly changed my mind and i'm going to put it somewhere else
thanx
