i'm working on a website...didn't put the whole thing online yet.

i want to know how can i place an image over a specific part of a javascript. i tried layers and position, but the image always end up behind the script.

Welcome to the forum, maha123.

Can you explain a bit further? Javascript itself should not be displayed on the page, although your script may be using document.write() to place some element in the page.

So, what is the javascript placing on your page?

i really don't know how to explain the script i have/made. images that move and appear from differnt directions.

i want to place an image over the bottom part of the script, i tried Z-index, but i don't know how to put the code for the script?

do you know what i can do?

When you use z-index to position the image, did you also use position:absolute and give it offset coordinates in pixels -- top: and left: for instance -- relative to its containing element?

yes, i did that...i just don't know how to do the same for the script. this is what i did for the image


<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
#ex1 {position: absolute; top: 535; left: 60; z-index: 2}
</STYLE>
<BODY>
<IMG ID=ex1 SRC=artblack.gif>
</LAYER>
</BODY>

The <layer> tag was stillborn, never made it into the standard, and is pretty much extinct (NN4 only). Plus, if that markup is a copy/paste, then you never opened the element, you only closed it.

Don't be hypnotized by Dreamweaver's language to describe a "layer". There is really only a <div></div> element, not a <layer></layer>. So either use <div> or just position the <img> tag itself, which is what it looks like you set out to do anyway.

So what is this visible javascript all about?

Perhaps that is the problem - are you displaying the text of a script inside a form element of some kind, like a textarea? That might make for trouble. As far as I know you cannot place anything "on top of" a form element, just as you can't get "on top of" a flash object.
