Defining <DIV> on top of another <DIV> pane with transparency?

[Marcus Otmarsen]

Ok, the situation is as follows:

I defined a <DIV> like:

<div id="myid" style="position: absolute; height: 10; width: 10;"><img src="images/object.gif" height=10 width=10></div>

This pane is used to move an object around on the web page by a javascript.

As long as I define no further <div> pane everything works fine.

Then (due to other requirements) I introduced some other <div> panes similar to

<div style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 400px; height: 1000px;
background-image: url(image/mybackround.gif)"><img src="images/mypic.gif"></div>

From this moment on I cannot see the object defined in the first <div> statement any more.

Hmm, I guess that this is because the later <div> panes "overwrite" the first one.

Can two <div> panes on the same area co-exist?

Or can I drop one <div> pane on top of the other with transparency property?

try giving the secondary div an id, too. otherewise it becomes
impossible to tell them apart. absolutley positioned divs can overlap,
define background-color:tranparency to acheived the desired affect.
