Anyone know how to do picture overlay or appear on top of each other in HTML? The effect will be something like the marker/icon appear on Google Map where the user can specify the coordinate of the second picture appear on the first picture.

Thanks.

Answer 1

You can use <div> containers to seperate content into multiple layers. Therefore the div containers have to be positioned absolutely and marked with a z-index. for instance:

<div style="position: absolute; z-index:100">This is in background</div> 
<div style="position: absolute; z-index:5000">This is in foreground</div> 

Of course the content also can contains images, etc.

Answer 2

Use a DIV tag and CSS absolute positioning, with the z-index property.
