Pain Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hi there. I am trying to put a "user is online" icon on top of a picture. What i've got so far is: html/php <div class="featured"><a href="user_profile.php?id=<?php echo $id2[1]; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $profile_picture2[1]; ?>" class="borders" /></a></div> css .featured { width: 136px; height: 136px; background-image: url('img/featured.jpg'); float: left; margin: 2px; } .borders { border: 4px solid #D8D8D8; height: 128px; width: 128px; } .on { width: 80px; height: 80px; background-image: url('img/on.png'); } I want to put class "on" on top of the image. I've tried many things, but just keep getting nothing or distorted layout. Any help pls:) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Try using position: relative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drongo_III Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 You want to put a background image on the profile image?? Maybe i've totally misunderstood. You'd be better off making the parent div position:relative, then add absolute positioning to the profile pic and add the "user online" png. Then set the z-index of "user online" png to a higher value than the profile pic - that way it'll sit above the profile pic. But to my knowledge you can't add a background image to an image...err if that's what you were trying to do in the first place...which you probably werent hehe. Hi there.
