Images

Hi Jo,

Thanks for your question.

You can overlay anything over anything using Layers, also known as DIV tags, because they're the HTML tags that make layers.

However, to overlay properly, you'll need to use Absolute Positioning layers, ie. specifying the exact X and Y coordinates of the layer. This may cause problems if your design is flexible. ie. the layers may cause trouble if a visitor resizes their browser window. It can get tricky.

The images are inserted into the Layer, and each Layer has a Z-value as well, to indicate the depth. (a Layer of 1 will be behind a Layer of 5). So put your small image in a layer that has a larger Z-value.

To insert layers, use Dreamweaver MX's 'Insert' menu.

If this is a one-off, it may be easier and safer to to create a new image in a program like Photoshop, and insert the smaller image on top of the larger one, then save/export the new image to use on your web site.

If this answer resolves your query, please mark the question as 'resolved' (see below). Otherwise, please post a follow-up response to this post, and I will assist you further.
