Overlaying Images

Not neccisarily a PHP issue, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a method of overlaying transparent background images over one another in several layers in real time.

I'm not really keen on using flash or anything like that ... I'd just prefer a simple html or perhaps a javascript method.

Either way, the image names and locations would need to be inserted by PHP.

Any help would be great, thanks.

Check CSS and the z-index property. That property affects how elements are placed on the "z-axis". FYI: I've noticed you also need to set the position property in order to get the z-index property to work.

<div> + <marquee> will give a cool effect, with the right style settings of course. ;)

Indeed it is, but I saw an amazing combination of marquee and div the other day and it got me playing around with it again. :P heh

But if you want to play by the new specification's rules, I'd avoid it.
