Div Overlay

[acctman]

I'm looking for a dynamic script that will over lay images or a section of a page. i'm assuming it would work something like this. There would be a main div container then a sub div overlay that would positioned at a preset coordinated within the main div to ovelay the image with text or an watermark image.

i kind of found something that would work

It's just a matter of absolute positioning.

Set the parent div's CSS position to relative, like so:


div#parent { position:relative; }

then you can position any element with that absolutely RELATIVE to the parent div, not the page.


div#overlay { position:absolute; top:20px; left:20px; }

<div id="overlay"> would have to be nested inside <div id="parent"> for this to work.
