Having a css problem

[yilduz]

I'm trying to float a div but it's messing up everything else. The div I'm trying to float is actually going to be floating over the intersection of three other divs. Every time I put it there, though, the other divs move out of its way. How does a person float a div over other divs without them moving away?

In order to do this, you have to use the z-index element.

Here's a quick tutorial on how to use it:

And here's a description on how the element actually works:

Oh, cool! I was thinking there had to be some sort of way to make layers like that. Thank you!

I did that rep thing for you, but what does it actually do?

Well, it adds to my little green bars on the left side here.

Sometimes they don't turn green, however. For some reason, yours was nullified or something.

Either way, I appreciate it, and I'm glad I could help you.
