z-index / overlapping <divs> and images

1 New Member

I am making a blog and as part of my template I am wanting to have my header and then another image on the side of that using the z-index: 2; to make it that layer about. so here is the css.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
.splash {

        z-index: 2;

    width: 135px;

    height: 386px;

    margin: 0 auto;

        position: relative;

        left: 450px;

        top: 0px;

    background: url('images/splash1.png');
 
}

and this is the code for the header. (its a wordpress blog btw.)

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

Why is this line before your doctype?
<div class="splash" is="splash">

It must be moved.
