There is no good way to do this. The reason is that in order to work in the same 'z-index plane' (cross browser), you have to be *inside* the LayerContainer div, inside the map, and when you do that, your images used for ater marking become 'draggable': when the layer container div is dragged, all of the items inside of it move. I can't think of a workaround for this off the top of my head.
