CSS Style Help with Background/Foreground Image

Recommended Posts

I'm pulling member images from the database and displaying them and I'd like to decorate how the image is displayed with an additional image, like a frame, placing it behind the member image. See this example: http://www.rateometer.com/images/vignette_bkgd.gif

 

The 1st picture is the frame image. The 3rd picture is how it will look if I place the frame image in the background. The 2nd picture is how it will look if I can place the frame image at the top of the member image, which would look much better. The question is, can that be done? If so, how?

 

Thanks in advance.

hmmm this may be a kludge or div-itis, but try it out. (you fill in the blanks)

 

.pic_container{

height: ;

width: ;

position: relative;

z-index: 1;

}

 

.pic_border{

height: ;

width: ;

position: absolute;

top: 0;

left: 0;

z-index: 10;

}

 

 

<div class = "pic_container">

<div class = "pic_border">

</div>

<img src="..." />

</div>
