HTMLHelp Forums _ Graphics, Flash and Multimedia _ Looks like Layers

On this site: http://www.stolen.la/

Thgere are a number of multi-media elements. The one I find most interesting is the one on the upper right - where ther is an ani-gif that appears over the page (or at least, that's how it looks to me)

Can someone point me to a tut on how that's done?

Thanks,

Ev

That's what it looks like to me too: an animated GIF with a transparent background, positioned over other content.

Right - so - the question is - how does one do that? I'd known it was possible - but have no idea how.

They are using an absolute value..... this works great on websites that are aligned left on the page. However I have tried this method on a website that is centered. Did not work so well!
