CSS Z-Index question... by asayogure 2004-12-12 21:58:47
I have inherited a webpage that was created by another person. I have it on good authority that the only browser this person uses to test their stuff, is MIE. I have been asked to edit a part of the page that is set to overlay an image over a section of the page, that contains a Flash/SWF file object.

The page has the image currently set in a DIV declaration with a z-index of 1, and the SWF object is declared in an DIV with a z-index of 0. When looking at the page in MIE, everything is fine. But in anything else, the Flash/SWF file overlaps the image, even though it's DIV has a lower z-index than the image's DIV. I have tried messing with the index numbers, and changing the positiing from absolute to relative on both of the DIVs, and no luck. I am currently researching the W3C rules on the subject, but it looks like I am just going to have to tell the client that I cannot make it do what they want it to do, in anything other than MIE, as it seems that Flash/SWF objects override z-index settings?

Any help here?
