Image on top of an image

[rizlaa]

Hi,

I'm trying to place an image on top of an image and was wondering how you would do this using html?

Thanks,
Riz

there are several ways to do it, most notable creating absolutely/relatively positioned divs containing images, and images with background images set by stylesheet

I have tried using the following bit of code:

<td>
<div height="24" style="position:relative; top: 0; left: 0;"><img hspace="0" align="left" width="18" height="24" src="img1.gif">
<div height="24" style="position:absolute; top: -4; left: 0;"><img hspace="0" align="left" width="18" height="24" src="img2.gif">
</div></div>
</td>

but this does not seem to work the images are placed side by side rather than one on top of the other...

To make an image appear underneath, put this into the style:

z-index: -1;

have tried putting z-index: -1 into the divs and the images but this still does not work.
can anyone provide the bit of code that will get this to work???

<div height="24" style="position:relative; top: 0; left: 0;">
<img hspace="0" align="left" width="18" height="24" src="img1.gif">
</div>

<div height="24" style="position:absolute; top: -4; left: 0;">
<img hspace="0" align="left" width="18" height="24" src="img2.gif">
</div>

Works well for me. Just make sure the bottom image is bigger than the top image.

is there anyway of getting one image to sit on top of the other without having to artificially increase the size of the bottom image??

i need both images to be the same size. In my webpage they will be sitting within a td hence the reason for an absolute div within a relative div. so that the top and left co-ordinates of the absolute div refer to the td and not the page. The td has a fixed size of 18 x 24.

any more suggestions most welcome...

got it...

<div height="24" style="position:relative; top: 0; left: 0;"><img style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0;" hspace="0" align="left" width="18" height="24" src="img1.gif">
<img style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0" hspace="0" align="left" width="18" height="24" src="img2.gif"></div>
