Hello,
The appearance of the page should be for the main image, lpmap.jpg, to
be on the bottom, (z-index: 1), with pictures, (image0.jpg -
image9.jpg), and accompaning notes to appear on top, (z-index: 2),
minimized to 20px x 20px width & height, using the box model. These 10,
(point0 to point9), are positioned on the map with the position style.
These small images should then enlarge when the mouse hovers over them,
(z-index: 3).
The problem I am having is that the picture with z-index of 1,
(lpmap.jpg), does not appear underneath the elements (.notes class).
The .notes are not visible, (z-index: 2). To bebug, I temporarily
removed lpmap.jpg, and then I could see the 20px x 20px images that
should appear on top. Also, when I hovered the mouse over them, they
enlarged as directed in the css style declaration,
..notes a:hover {width: 150; height: 170; overflow: visible; z-index:
3;}
I am aware that the elements subject to a z-index style must be
positioned using the absolute position, (I think my code is OK here?).
They also share a common parent, <div id="online_map">.
Can the browser determine that they share a common parent or must the
code explicitly state that?
My code: #lpmap {position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; width: 600;
height: 294; z-index: 1;}
Should be(?): #online_map #lpmap {position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0;
width: 600; height: 294; z-index: 1;}
TIA for any help. I've really spent alot of time trying to figure this
one out, Googled for similar problems, but no one seemed to have the
problem I do.
Chris

<h2>Longs Peak <span id="hideprint">Online</span> Trail Map</h2>
<p>At 14,255 feet, Longs Peak towers above all other summits in Rocky
Mountain National
Park. The summer is the only season in which the peak can be climbed by
a non-technical
route. Early mornings break calm, clouds build in the afternoon sky,
often exploding in
storms of brief, heavy rain, thunder and dangerous lightning. Begin
your hike early,
way before dawn, to be back below timberline before the weather turns
for the
worse.</p>
<p>The Keyhole Route, Longs Peak's only non-technical hiking pathway,
is a 16 mile
round trip with an elevation gain of 4,850 feet. Though non-technical,
the Keyhole
Route is still challenging and is not recommended for those who are
afraid of heights
or exposed ledges. Hikers should be properly outfitted with clothing,
food and water.
Use caution when ascending or descending steep areas. Don't be afraid
to back down when bad
weather threatens.</p>
