div with z-index stops editing

Permalink
I have 2 stacked divs using absolute positioning and z-index - main Content on top of background Content.

Both have the necessary php to enable editing.

However, this doesn't work as the I can't click and select 'edit' or add a block.

<div id="main">
   <?php
      $a = new Area('Background Content');
      $a->display($c);
      ?></div>
   <div id="content">
   <?php
      $a = new Area('Main Content');
      $a->display($c);
      ?>
      </div>


Please help.

You could use an alternate stylesheet in the header that will move the divs for editing when in edit mode with this code

<?php 
if ($c->isEditMode()) {  
  //Do something 
} 
?>


Just put your styles in the commented area and it will only affect your layout in edit mode.

Sometimes I run into this problem with complex themes. I use a tool like firebug to add a "visibility: hidden" css statement real time to the blocking div, this usually allows me access to the area I need until i change anything in the design panel or save the version.
