Slide Show and z-index
Permalink
Hi,
I have a picture on the front of a site that I would like to replace with the slide show block.
I have a transparent png over the pic that fades the edges nicely into black.
However when I tried the same thing with the slideshow once the fade in had finished the image jumped over the transparent blur.
you can see the site here:http://meba.co.nz its a single image at the mo but I want it to be a slideshow.
I thought it might be a z-index thing.
I really want to have the picture change UNDERNEATH the blurred edge .png. other wise I’ll just have to stick with a single image.
Any ideas?

you need to negative top margin whatever is covering it to clear it in edit mode, the best way is to set up an addheaderitem based on if $c->isEditMode(){ //stuff}
I dealt with this one a while ago :)

original question:
Why wont the slideshow block stay underneath the transparent div (after editing)? A single photo will. The slideshow block wont. z-index is identical.
second question:
How do you edit identically placed divs?
Its true I cant get to the photos in edit mode at the moment, I have to temp delete the top div then edit the photo then re insert the top div.
But thats another story...at the moment the slideshow wont stay under the transparent div after the edits are approved.
I do want to do the isEditMode thing (for proper editing of the site) but I dont understand how to implement it. I have asked before but I dont understand the answers. I understand what isEditMode does I just dont know how to set it up. Im afraid I need step by step guidance . I tried to do it based on one of your previous posts Scott but it didnt work.
But back to the problem at hand...
Suppose (after I have managed to insert the slideshow under the transparent png do I get the slideshow to stay under the top layer?
It wont do it.
