The best way to describe this problem is by thinking of each layer as a window. Much like the windows in the room your sitting in now :)
You can reach through this window to drag the children, but the children will alway be behind this window. This is why they seem to disappear. The way around this is to move the child being dragged to the document and bring it to the top (zIndex 100+). This method is used in the drag 'n' drop example attached. I apologise for using an example from my modified code, but I can't seem to find the original dynapi version that it came from. If you have any problems, feel free to contact me and I'll search my backups at home for the original. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
