Wright Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 This is the only part of the site that gets attention so I'm posting this here. Hopefully someone can help me out. I'm trying to figure out how to display a div over a table. Is this possible? Well you just started wrong my friend. Anyway, if you mean a DIV inside a table, yeh I don't see why not? If you mean a table inside a DIV, it's also possible. If you mean div making out with a table, then I have no clue!

If you mean a table inside a DIV, it's also possible. If you mean div making out with a table, then I have no clue! I mean I want two separate stand-alone elements. I want the div to be in a fixed position where it will overlap elements of the table.

Wright Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'm pretty sure (99%) that you can make a DIV element overlap any HTML element. What you need is to see the priorities, namely the z-index (you can do this with CSS I believe).

jl5501 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 The only way to do that would be to position the div absolutely with css, and give it a high z-index to ensure it was above the table.

I am attempting to set positions that are over the table and it will either display above or below the table (as far as page order is concerned) I have tried to set the div to absolute and it still will not show on top of the table :/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/189484-div-issues/#findComment-1000156 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mess around with positioning and workflow, also the z-index.

aeroswat Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 The z-index doesn't have anything to do with the problem I am having though and I have tried changing the positioning of the table. I would be glad to read some tutorial's on the subject matter if I knew what to search for. Everything that I have searched for so far has had no definitive answer and always says to position the div absolute. The people who have the issues never say that their problem is solved either. I appreciate your help Wright but I'd like a little more than a RTFM when there is no manual to read Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/189484-div-issues/#findComment-1000162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
