z-index of blocks

Permalink
hello,

I want to change the z-index of a particular block or of all the main area,

how can I do this ??

I would imagine that if you create a specific div to hold the block in quesiton in your theme then just specify the z-index in the css

no idea what will happen in edit mode though if you have overlapping divs but im sure its possible (and I need to do this for an upcoming project so I guess should have a play myself!)

ok did a (very quick test) and that works fine - so yup just create a page type with a div for each block you want to stack.

In edit mode I was easily able to edit each block even though they were overlapping

I' m not that experienced - actually I' m a noob.. so not quite sure if I did things right.

I added this in my css :
.foo {
color: rgb(0,0,0);
z-index: 3;
}

and in the block' s html this

<div class="foo"; >
...
</div>

it doesn' t work, but I' m not sure if the problem is in the page' s background code or here..

Did you ever figure this out Marinosk? I find myself stuck on the same thing. If someone could provide us noobs a more step by step instruction on how to create a new div to utilize this way that would be very much appreciated !

Thanks
