Normal Flow, Floats, Relative Positioning Questions
Hi there guys and gals!
Well I have a layout where I want to place transparent elements over the top of a back ground image. So my logo and header image would be placed over a background div.
I have started to play with it a little and I floated two divs and they are now out of normal flow and the back ground image is not showing through.
I have provided my code. Would some one be willing to suggest an approach?
Thanks for your input!
CSS
HTML Code:/* stylesheet-1 Document */ body { background: #fff; font:76% arial, verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; } * { margin:0; padding:0; } #wrapper {width:1006px; margin:0 auto; } #logo {background: #000 url(logo.jpg) top left no-repeat; width:250px; height:120px; float:left; } #banner {background: #000 url(header.png) top left no-repeat; width:756px; height:120px; float:left; } /* ------- Section Pages ------- */ #environment {background: #000 url(bg-pink.jpg) no-repeat; width:1006px; height:750px; }

So the two elements floated left are no longer in the containing block of the #environment. Would I relatively position these to place them over the #environment background image?
