DHTML & XHTML layer/div conflict? help.

[lycapixel]

I have an XHTML page, and it works perfectly.

I also have an external DHTML solution that is called into the page, and is supposed to show up as a layer over the standard XHTML contents.

The pages content are all in DIV tags, and have no z-index. The DHTML layer is also in a DIV tag, and has been assigned a z-index, but the dhtml layer will still not show. The solution worked well when the dhtml tag was called into a non-XHTML page.

Any ideas? Is there a trick with XHTML pages I don't know?

thanks.

first of all, theres no "DHTML and XHTML". it's either lack of layered element in (x)html content or bug in code that induces change. z-index property will work only if element was positioned as "absolute", "fixed" or "relative", too.

second, a link would explain a lot more.
