 How do I place an image on top of another image?

Umm.  Can we have an example of what you want?  There are many options here, 
and depending on the effect you're looking for, some may or may not work.  For 
example: do you want the bottom image to be visible under the top image 
(translucent)?  Are the images the same size or is one going to frame the 
other?  Or are you looking for a scattered photographs effect?  All of these 
would have significantly different solutions, but all fall under one image on 
top of another.

kinda figured that...

yes

not the same size. The bottom one has a hole in it for the button to fill.
Imagine the logo for mailman (python mailing list). There is a flag part
to the left with a circle on the right:

Imagine it with flags on either side. Hope that was better.

Wouldn't it be easier to construct the finished image you want, and define
the active area for the button with a map?

Yeah, well, could do; however, I reuse the button over different images. How
do? Too complicated?

Re: [css-d] An Image On Top Of an Image

2010-06-21 Thread Peter Coates
div style=position:relative;top:0;left:0

  image src=one.jpg
style=position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:120px;height:120px

  image src=two.jpg
style=position:absolute;top:50px;left:50px;width:20px;height:20px

/div

 

The enclosing div is important.  It has positional info, so the
coordinated in the enclosed imgs are relative to that div.  You do not
have to specify the width and height of the images.  I've just doing that to
show the sizes.  The second image will be displayed on top of the first: no
z-index is given, so they are rendered in the order they occur.  If you
want, you could say

 

div style=position:relative;top:0;left:0

  image src=one.jpg
style=position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:120px;height:120px;z-index:1

  image src=two.jpg
style=position:absolute;top:50px;left:50px;width:20px;height:20px;z-index:2


/div

Re: [css-d] An Image On Top Of an Image

2010-06-21 Thread Victor Subervi
Well, Peter, your code worked well; however, I had to add several breaks at
the end:

table border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'
  tr
td colspan='2'#xa0;/td
  /trtr
td width='117' height='147' align='center' valign='middle'
bgcolor='#183452'
img src='images/mic.jpg' width='107' height='137' /
/tdtd width='5'#xa0;/tdtd align='center'
span class='large_italic'Listen Live!/spanbr /
Click here to listen live to WXZT 90.9 FM now!br /br /
table valign='top' align='center' width='260' border='0' cellpadding='0'
cellspacing='0'
  tr
td
div style='position:relative;top:0;left:0'
  image src='images/mic-lines.png' width='279' height='65'
style='position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:279px;height:65px'
  image src='images/button-off.png' width='71' height='71'
style='position:absolute;top:-5px;left:105px;width:71px;height:71px'
/div
br /br /br /
/td
  /trtr
td colspan='2'#xa0;/td
  /tr
/table
/td
  /tr
/table

Even so, it has a little extra space at the top. What happened without the
breaks is that your code forced everything down for some reason. Could you
explain that?
TIA,
V

 snip a bunch of HTML

Can you send us a link to your live page instead of all this code?  It's a lot 
easier to debug things that way.

If not, we can try and work with what we've got, but a link is always more 
helpful.
