Im making a div overlay, and i made a div table with a z-index of 10, and it wont work.
i type in z-index:10; and when i submit it it looks like z-index..;
Full Version: problem with z-index
z-index only applies to positioned elements. Could that be the problem?
Are you talking about a problem with your editor now or...?

Hit what submit? Are you using some kind of online editor your host provides?
The selector is invalid both before and after the submission. There is no element called QUOTE and even if there were, 'quote.band' and 'quote .band' (with a space) don't match the same thing. You also lack a hash sign in the value for background-color. 1c1c1c should be #1c1c1c.

The "QUOTE" is added by the forum software...
Oh damned! I read the code in the notification email and QUOTE was perfectly placed. Well, in the first case anyway. 
Sorry, forgot to add that this is for myspace. lol.
and the quote is from the forum, thats not actually in the code. And the hexadecimals in all my other layers do not have hash signs, and they work flawlessly

Well, hard to do anything about what they are up to. Do you have to use the editor? They don't let you upload an external CSS file?

Sorry about that. It looked very realistic in the email.

It may work, but I wouldn't call it flawlessly. It works in some browsers if you use a doctype that triggers Quirks Mode. That doesn't make it right.
Maybe not flawless, but i checked it in IE and FF, and they work. But illl add them for good measure 
Maybe they don't allow you to use z-index and simply deletes it. Maybe they fear you'll use it to overlay their banners and stuff. Nevertheless, I'm almost sure I've seen people posting their myspace code here use z-index. 
Yeah, i thought that at first too, but i have 9 other z-index layers, and they work, and dont pose the problem the 10th layer does. idk, im all out of ideas 
Don't they have support? A forum or something?
