Subject: [WSG] z-index problem
Hi
I've got a 3-column page with footer:
#leftcol {
clear: both;
float: left;
width: 30%;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 10px;
...
}
#rightcol {
position: absolute;
left: 68%;
top: 130px;
width: 30%;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: -10px;
margin-top: -2px;
margin-left: 10px;
.... }
******************************************************
Floats and absolute positioned elements are out of the normal flow. As such
they need to be cleared. For a basic understanding of positioning see the
specs:
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html
And also (a little easier to wade through until the specs become familiar):
