hi,
i'm working on a design based off of http://www.21degrees.com.au/ and i'm running into problems with overlapping elements.
here's my work so far (i coded "for the Fox" at first):
html - http://www.thorstenpeh.de/test/devhelp/z-index/ css - http://www.thorstenpeh.de/test/devhelp/z-index/redesign-thpde.css
if you compare the two pages, you surely notice that in the original, the white content area is pulled up a bit into the header graphic while in my version it is (apparently) not. my picture with the tree hides the pulled-up content area; if you remove the picture, the effect shows.
21degrees produced the effect with a graphic while i'm trying to use css positioning to achieve the result.
i thought: let's throw in some z-indices and off you go, but that didn't work out. my css book here mentions that the hierarchical order in an html page can negate/confuse the z-index stuff, but doesn't suggest any solution. can you?
thanks for suggestions,
