layering images without layers? dougawells@gmail.com 06-04-2008

I am having issues using layers due to the different ways that
different browsers display them. I need to be able to layer some
images together as they work independently of each other. For example
- there is an image that is the background. Then, there are images
used as buttons/links, then there are images that swap out based on
certain clicks. All of these on the same page. Are there other options
for layering images without using layers, or Flash?

Thanks

You can apply z-index to your images if you want. I wonder which
behaviour you refer to when you say that layers behave different in
different browsers.

It's their position. I need certain images to appear at certain spots
- based on the underlying background image. Using layers with absolute
positioning, I tested in three different browsers (IE, Firefox,
Safari) and got three different results.

Do you have that test page somewhere online?

Hi - You can see some early work here:

In Firefox, the rollover text is positioned close to correct, it's off
in IE, and off in a different way in Safari.
